Salzburg concert
I went to concert in the Mirable Hall of Mirabell palace in Salzburg.
It was beautiful venue but I do not think it is suitable for listening classic concert. The acoustic is too much echo , so I cannot hear the details time to time. And because of the temperature (they do not have AC), strings goes down many times 😞
I do not think it was the best situation for them to perform.
Other than that ,the baroque violin soloist, Dimitris Karakantas tried his best to bling out his character . It was fun to listen his solo. Sometimes his playing reminds me middle eastern music even though he was playing Vivaldi😄 Well everybody has different taste… I enjoyed to listen that.
I hope Ensemble 1756’s intonation will improve better in the future. I am sure that the room temperture did not help that as well … It was tough for them.
Salzburg Music Festival
I went to one of the best concert in my life yesterday at The house for Mozart in Salzburg .
Violinist Renaud Capuçon plays three big pieces with his gorgeous sound especially high tone.
I was moved with the cellist ,Clemens Hagen’s playing.
He is so stable and he has enormous musical passion. And I must say his sound is so big and thick. He used the Strad , but I think he brings out the best sound out of that instrument 👍👍👍👍👍
The pianist , Trifonov has huge tone and he plays all three difficult pieces without any daubt😆
Their characters are different, but when they play together , it mixed so well and became huge one big oil painting with lots of colours.
One old elegant grandfather next to me was closing his eyes and smiling in piece. I never seen the happiest expression before. That makes me feel so warm.
I could tell the audience who were there last night loves music .
I was so happy to be there.😌
