Hi folks Well the other day something happened that I would have never really thought would. As part of this years Festspillene i Bergen <http://www.fib.no/> which I have responsibilites for I ended up spending an entire afternoon session watching Julian Rachlin and friends including one Sir Roger Moore put together for a concert performance the Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns. 007 did the narative and is a big fan of chamber classics. All in all it was a fantastic experience. Several of the players had just flown into town the day before and this session was their primary rehearsal for getting the peice together. I have seen jazz players do this kind of thing many a time, but this was my first time watching world class classical musicians do their carpentry on a music peice. I dont think I've ever enjoyed a concert as much as I did this rehearsal. Fantastic is all I have to say. Itamar Golan and Richard Hyung-ki Joo were the pianists and the concert featured two Steinway D's and a chamber group of 8 along with them players... and of course Sir Roger. When you are a pianotuner... you just never know who you are going to end up eating brunch with do ya ?? Cheers RicB -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
