Ludwig Van
We went to the final concert of the Schenectady Symphony Orchestra today.
As I get older, I like classical music more and more, and Beethoven is definitely my favorite. So today was a treat: the 3rd Symphony. It was the first time I've heard it live (I've heard the Philadelphia Orchestra doing the 5th, 7th, and 9th).
Just before the concert, the conductor gives a short lecture about the upcoming piece. This one was particularly interesting, since I was somewhat familiar with the symphony. Defintely made it more fun.
We'll be renewing our subscription; next year, they'll be doing Beethoven's 5th, Resphigi's "The Pines of Rome" (see Fantasia 2000 -- the whales), and some Gershwin. |
