That was fast!
Last night's concert was tres disappointing. It was supposed to be "Rachmaninoff the Romantic" but there was nothing romantic until the encore.
They played portions of Trio Elegiaque for piano, violin and cello. The pianist was the man who orchestrated the trio into a piano concerto with orchestra. The trio is a very and jarring piece -- Rachmaninoff was very disturbed by the death of his mentor, Tchaikovsky. The concerto was much better but hardly romantic!
They finished with Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 1 which was "better" but also not what we had expected.
And for that, I missed the Eagles-New Orleans game!!! ;-)
