tired and sore April 27, 2008
Posted by Charles Noble in : appreciation/criticism, music, the orchestra world , trackbackThat’s how I feel this morning. If you’ve played Mahler’s Ninth twice the previous day, plus ridden the 9 miles to work and 9 miles back home before and after the rehearsal - it leads to a healthy sense of fatigue!
The performance last night was memorable - this orchestra has truly come of age. We’re finally realizing our untapped potential, and playing concerts of some of the most demanding music at a seriously high level. It feels good.
Now, let’s do it two more times, o.k.?
If you haven’t yet had a chance to read my thumbnail sketches of the four movements that comprise the Ninth Symphony of Gustav Mahler, here’s a helpful set of links so you can do so. I also hope that you make the trip down to Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall tonight or tomorrow night - it’s a concert that you’ll be glad you attended.
