Synopsis:

Composed in 1945, Strauss’ Oboe Concerto is regarded by many as one of the key works for the instrument, though sadly under-performed. Handel’s Royal Fireworks Music sounds as refreshingly vibrant today as it did when first performed in April 1749 to celebrate the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle. As much as Gershwin’s An American in Paris evokes the energy and colours of the city of romance, Ravel’s Bolero conjures up the build-up of fiery passion.

随笔记录一下

除了R. Strauss的协奏曲外,其他几个曲目我都蛮喜欢。

皇家焰火的后两个乐章,Bolero,SSO表现的不错,尤其是波莱罗。

音乐会上又遇见了本地乐评人Samuel, 约好下周四再见,虽然有时我们的意见并不统一,呵呵
