#gershwin — Public Fediverse posts

Am Wochenende war ich in einem Konzert im Rahmen des Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival #SHMF und habe dort #HayatoSumino zusammen mit dem #AuroraOrchestra spielen gesehen – und vor allem gehört. Im #KonzerthausAmSchloss in #Kiel gab’s unter anderem den #Boléro von Raval, die #RhapsodyInBlue von #Gershwin und die 1. Sinfonie (#Titan) von #Mahler.

Drüber geschrieben habe ich einmal mehr für #Kielerleben:

Heard a terrific concert tonight, Xian Conducts Gershwin at Seattle Symphony with Hélène Grimaud piano, concerto in F. Her encore was a reflective piece, like an elegy, by Ukrainian composer, Valentin Silvestrov. We had attended the open rehearsal this morning, and this performance was dazzling. Porgy and Bess, and finishing with An American in Paris. Jazzy brass, lively winds, great cooperative spirit.

Loved Hélène Grimaud rehearsing piano concerto in F. The American in Paris is dazzling. We return tonight for the concert.
