Was listening to Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1, then remembered that Sergio Tiempo is coming over this Sep to play it... I was thinking maybe he should play something else...
The 07/08 Concert Season programme is a little too predictable and thus boring, I feel... When was the last time you saw Elgar's Pomp and Circumstances coming up in the programme? Yea, it maybe his 150th birth anniversary, but can't they do other works that are less popular? I mean, playing something for a concert is to share it with others, let others know more about it... What's the point of attending concerts when you can just get good recordings from the CD shops? What's new, Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2, surprisingly, got Dennis Lee to play... Brahms' 1st will also be played, but by Stephen Hough...
Other people turning up include Sarah Chang playing her famous Sibelius Violin Concerto... Why can't Gidon Kremer or Vadim Repin come instead? And also Simon Trpceski playing Rach 1.. Maybe, Singapore could present Beethoven's Triple Concerto? I mean, something interesting lah, maybe Bartok's Sonata for 2 piano and percussion too...
I'm hoping for someone to come and present Prokofiev's Piano Concertos... That'd be fun... Oh, Ravel's Concerto for Left Hand will be performed... Good... But it's on a Friday... Hope I can go... And I'd really love the pianist who could come and play Rach 4 and not make me sleep... lol...
I'm halfway through the new piece... *applause*... Time's running out... Just when you realised you do not have much time left, you find lots of things UNDONE.
Was watching Dominion : Prequel to The Exorcist... Got a little freaked out, so I'm imagining things a little now... HELP! Turning to music to calm my nerves...
Van, I'm gonna make you pay my handphone bills because you refused to hang up the phone...
Getting a new specs tmr... haha... The black plastic one, that all short-sighted guys wear to NS... haha... Hope I get freed from the 'nerdy' look... haha...
For the 1st time in this year, I got a crash in my programme!!! Argh... Two dinners, planned together... So careless...
Oh, before I forget, Leqi, welcome back! =D
