Lutoslawski's Concerto for Orchestra took the roof off last night - such a great masterpiece. Shame that's not coming to the Proms too. Home now but with the lovely knowledge that the party, which ended at the Passion Cafe nerve centre at around 4am (for me, others were still there), can be resumed tomorrow night here, albeit with not all the wonderful players coming. It's still a unique force in the musical world - I repeat, what Lucerne Festival Orchestra was under Abbado, with the conductor's force of personality uniting everyone on the concert platform and off.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-25506097609535688562018-08-12T15:18:38.561+01:002018-08-12T15:18:38.561+01:00I love the love for music displayed in every line ...I love the love for music displayed in every line of this—most pointedly in your vignettes about Leonskaya wanting to take part in the chamber music, Part there at a rehearsal, and your friend/musical colleague who had to leave after the Quintet performance because it was so perfectly performed.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674930917585246294noreply@blogger.com
