A trip with Shaz and Murray to the Michael Fowler last night.
We sat in row A- as I think we have done before. It does allow a great view of watching the very skilled performers close up- though it does give some neck ache and you do miss out on the members of the orchestra at the back.
Listening to ‘The Planets ‘was a great experience. So many ‘hits’ and so much t enjoy. Very much a proof that seeing music live provides something more and better.
The final movement -Mystic- contains errie voices singing at the end. So well done with the NZ Chamber Choir.
And this man played Elgar violin concerto.Again we could see his work close up in addition to the sweat coming down his face with all his work. Amazing to see. Remarkable skill on view. The music was good but I would need to listen again to see if a ‘grower’. He was featured on TVNZ during the week- teaching up and coming violinists.
