Listening to Paul Wee play piano concertos from Henselt and Bronsart. Great music to write to.

Last night, I had on Bach cello concertos and they depressed me no end.

Ushering for the Philharmonic tonight. They’re doing Mahler’s second symphony. Should be fun.

Only a state who elects Marjorie Taylor Greene to represnt them sould have encough stupid Republicans to get their tiny minds bent out of shape by witchcraft and demonic terrors. Or, are they really aware of the smoke, mirrors, and horrors the play reflects in the current Trump administration?

Asking for a friend.

I liked DR RODZINSKI's list of crooners last night.

One of my favorite chorus parts ever. The initial "Auferstehn'n" entrance gives me chills either side of the stage.

Last night was back to movie class after taking last week off for a concert. We saw Straight Time from 1978 starring Dustin Hoffman. The score is by David Shire though I can't recall much of it outside of the opening and closing credits.

Before the movie he gave us an exercise in watching the same scene in two different performances, both great, and figuring out which you preferred and why. And why couldn't be "Because the other one was no good."

MichaelG · « **Reply #46 on:** May 23, 2025, 08:45:36 AM »

It was "Cabaret" in the film performance by Liza Minelli and Amy Lennox performing it at the Olivier awards.

MichaelG · « **Reply #47 on:** May 23, 2025, 08:47:03 AM »

I was completely on Team Liza. Amy Lennox's performance is the second excerpt I've seen from the current London production (that transferred to Broadway) that tells me to stay far, far away from it. I get what they're doing and why but it's not for me.

And now tonight is opening night for Otello. This is such a fun chorus part to sing, and our principals are wonderful.

MichaelG · « **Reply #49 on:** May 23, 2025, 08:51:12 AM »

We have two child supers in the garden scene with Desdemona - both children of current or former chorus members - who are doing a great job. They're both about 7. The girl is a seasoned super, both as Trouble in Butterfly with us and with San Francisco Opera in The Handmaid's Tale. This is the boy's first time on stage and he is completely smitten with Desdemona, which works great for the scene.

And what an opera! I hope that even the orchestra is beautiful. Here's to a wonderful evening, DR MichaelG!

I had to look up what 1K and 1024 meant in the computer world, but that's certainly worth celebrating!

I enjoy it. When they were still the San Antonio Symphony, I heard them play it twice. They local Meistersingers group also do well with the piece.

I hope that last comment refers to the score and not the movie.

From DR Rodzinski:

Quote

Kids had a play date today with a brother and sister whose ages match theirs nicely.

I alsways liked when that happened.

One year for Bryan's birthday we did it at a kids gym with a tampoline. It was fun. Bryan invited twin boys and we invited the younger sister for Craig and so she wouldn't be left out of the fun.
