I did know the "Symphonie Fantastique," however, and it was just all wrong.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-10962295845909379502007-12-14T06:42:00.000-08:002007-12-14T06:42:00.000-08:00Hi Mike, My friend and I attended the Saturday per...Hi Mike, My friend and I attended the Saturday performance so we missed all the hoopla of the robotic camera, etc.<BR/>Your comment about MTT not following overall structure strike a chord with me...I have been listening to Sir Colin Davis version of Lelio with Jose Carreras. In the last movement of Shakespeares "The Tempest", the music ends with a roaring finale and then there should be a moment of silence before the idee fixe comes back in. Did you noticed that it was left out? Was that intentional because MTT thought that most people would clap andd therefore eliminated it altogether?jadesnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807820958982794399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-3654443652518116672007-12-10T18:46:00.000-08:002007-12-10T18:46:00.000-08:00Mike, WOW, and thank you!!Mike, WOW, and thank you!!Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-81626387216653817032007-12-09T21:30:00.000-08:002007-12-09T21:30:00.000-08:00I'm (still) reading the Cairns biography, which I ...I'm (still) reading the Cairns biography, which I recommend very highly. I probably should have read the memoirs first and then read the bio as sort of a corrective, but such was not to be. I was at Thursday's concert, so I'll post on it in, oh, a month or so, at the rate I'm going, though my severe cold does seem to be going away. I think I liked the Symphonie better than you did. They crammed us all in for the filming in the front row, but I doubt I was looking appropriately enraptured enough to end up in the film, but we shall see.Patrick J.
