NoahZark Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 As I think I've mentioned here before, my mother is a violist in a pretty well-respected local orchestra. On Sunday, my wife and I and some friends went to see the orchestra perform an all-Beethoven program, including his Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major and the 7th Symphony (which was the big attraction for me because it's one of my favorite pieces of classical music). I don't go frequently enough to these concerts, but I am always blown away by the power of live symphonic music. The orchestra plays at an unbelievably beautiful (and beautiful-sounding) concert hall, and there's just something very special about a "pure analog" show like the symphony. No power cords. No amplifiers. No speakers. No microphones. Just each instrument in all its acoustic glory, occupying its unique space on the sound stage, being played by experts at their craft, and generating music so good that at times it transcends comprehension. I was very happy to be a patron of such fine arts on Sunday. Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I selectively attend local performances. The LSO does a great job for a non-major orchestra. Estonia 190, Korg TrinityPlus, Yamaha P90, Roland PK-5a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
