  1. 菩提树下国家歌剧院的关公战秦琼大戏(不是)阿里阿德涅在纳克索斯,是2015年的版本。指挥是金恩善,之前没听过她。阿里阿德涅开始感觉没唱开,在后半程好了一些。乐队感觉不咋地,不过这个曲子本来就是各种戏仿似的,随便凑合听听吧。这个剧我总觉得只有前半段好玩,后半段,真正开始演剧了,我就觉得其实意思不大,因为以我的脑补应该要闹剧得多才有意思!

  3. Stephen Daldry – „The Hours“ (2002)

    Ein Film über Frauen (Regisseur ist ein Mann), dargestellt von überlebensgroßen Frauen, soweit es Hollywoods eigene Maßstäbe betrifft. Ein Film aus der Fabrik von Harvey Weinstein. Nach einem Bestseller, zudem nach Motiven der feministischen Ikone Virginia Woolf. Neun Nominierungen für den Oscar, sieben für den Golden Globe, zwei silberne Bären der Berlinale. Machen Sie sich darauf den Reim, den Sie wollen. Ansehen müssen Sie sich das schon selbst. (ARD, Wh.)

  7. McTee, Mozart & Strauss at the National Concert Hall

    As it was foretold, last night I went to the National Concert Hall in Dublin for the opening performance of the new season by the National Symphony Orchestra Ireland, this time under the baton of veteran conductor Leonard Slatkin.

    The appetiser for this concert was Timepiece by American composer Cindy Mctee. It’s a short piece, quite new to me before last night, with a slowish introduction leading into a very energetic main body of the work. This piece brought out some fine playing by the orchestra, especially the percussion section. You can read more about this intriguing and enjoyable composition in the composer’s own words here. She was in the audience last night, and came up on stage at the end of the performance to receive the plaudits.

    Next we had a very familiar piece: the Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with David Fray at the piano. Mozart apparently composed this in a rush to meet the deadline of its first performance, but it doesn’t seem that way. The three movements (marked Allegro, Romanza and Allegro Assai) are very different in mood: the first (which is quite long) is brooding and rather Sturmy and Drangy, while the second is much gentler; both these movements feature memorable tunes; the third is much more pyrotechnical, with a very propulsive start and some virtuosic cadenzas. I think the last was played the best. David Fray is a curious performer to watch: he sat in the same sort of chair as the members of the orchestra – one with a back – rather than the usual stool, and had a very unusual posture; he often turned round to look at the musicians behind him too. Anyway, he played very well indeed and for an encore he gave us some Back (a solo piano arrangement of Air on the G String), which was lovely.

    After the wine break we came back for a performance of Ein Heldenleben (“A Hero’s Life”) by Richard Strauss. I had never heard this piece in full before last night, and I have to say I didn’t like it much. There are some very nice passages in it, and there was some excellent playing by the brass and solo violin by NSOI leader Elaine Clark, but overall I found it a rather aimless reworking of some of Strauss’s other tone poems (some of which are actually very good). It’s also far too long for what it has to say.

    The “Hero” of the title is of course meant to be the composer himself, which says something of the high regard in which Strauss held himself. At times the piece is tediously bombastic. The composer was 34 when he wrote this piece; about the same age that Mozart was when he died. I don’t think had he lived the latter would have written a self-indulgent piece like this crowing about his own achievements, which were far greater than those of the former.

    Still, at least I can now say I’ve heard Ein Heldenleben

    P.S. For those of you wondering: no, the President of Ireland did not attend this concert.

    Shame on OSU for the lack of care to former athletes and for the continued abuse by the current administration who refuses to do the right thing!
