One very cool thing about tonight's recital: Malcolm Martineau, Mr. Terfel's pianist, was given a solo bow. A very well-deserved solo bow. His playing throughout was more than "supportive", it was practically telepathic at times.
One very "weird" thing about tonight's recital: Most of the sheet music that Mr. Martineau was using was single-sided, loose copies. The page-turner, consequently, basically stood up and turned pages twice as much as he would have normally (if the music was in a book, or copied back-to-back). -Well, he actually slid the pages of music from right to left each time. The page-turner also stayed on the stage between sets, which actually made me feel awkard. -I love page-turning, but I was also "taught" to leave the stage when the Artists leave the stage.
