wow. concert was fantastic. programme- tchaikovsky string serenade op 48 in c major and grieg's holberg. i arrived there darn early and the doors werent open yet. hmm so i slacked outside for awhile and saw wayyyyy alot of people. despite the fact that this concert was supposed to be rather low profile. yeah *grins* i realised i was smiling in a rather idiotic manner after... (well. if you really want to you could ask me for clarification) i do think that some people do know what i'm talking about. *grins again*
first piece was holberg. i do definitely think that if we continue the way we were playing this morning and hopefully improve a bit more we might be able to play to that sort of standard. it wasn't very great but it sounded neater than what we're currently playing and brighter. and i should really take a few pointers from my bro about playing the piece.
sarabande was organised, efficient and very warm as expected. hmm....the cellos were a bit out of tune however so i must admit that our three cellists had done a fantastic job for our concert! XD i think the cello solo for our concert sounded nicer anyway. for gavotte. hmm. okay. somehow they lacked that energy. maybe it's just me. but it does sound a bit dead, a bit lacking in soul. air...no comments. =p rigaudon! uh. i never thought i'd be saying this. but here goes. i think lijia is a great sectional leader. when compared to the rj+hcjc combined strings concertmaster. there.
tchaikovsky. haha. good choice of concertmaster. X) erm. first movt sounded tidy and quite well-rounded. the core of the piece sounded good. second movt. uhm. *starts to say something but decides not to* well-phrased. third and fourth movt. errr. really no comments. but haha. encore was really funny. quite hard to explain why here. but he sort of reversed the dynamics and tinkered with the piece so it sounded oddly there. uhm. i don't really know what I'm talking about but anyway i'm on a high right now. =D know why? haha. i think i know why but i'm not going to say. haha. =D
<3 great concert!
