Thank you Jenn for posting here your stimulating thoughts about MUSIC.
What a pleasant change from the flood of OTs!
I want to add a very personal and very amateurish impression. I heard
yesterday a thrilling performance of Prokofiev's Piano Conc #2.
Orchestra Vancouver Symph., conductor Christian Arming, pianist Avan
Yu.
I may have been in a particularly rewceptive mood but I never heard
the VSO play so well. If I'm right the young conductor must have had
something to do with it and so is worth watching. The relatively
unknown pianist seemed to me to be simply wonderful.- see what he will
do in the future. The flood of the outstanding Chinese performers of
Western music demonstrates, if demonstration was needed, the idiocy of
the racist deep thinkers in the RAO. .
The Schumann #3 symph. that followed was.to me an anticlimax. But de
gustibus...
