10 pianos, 20 pianists - Video!!
on: July 27, 2006, 01:28:37 AM
I put some vids on You Tube of this concert with some local pianists. 

Shot with just a digital camera, so sorry for the quality and the shakeyness. 

Saint-Saens - Dance Macabre:


Bizet - Carmen:


Rossini - William Tell

Wow the idea of that is so cool. It would be a good experience I think to be part of that kind of ensemble.

Who is the conductor? She conducts totally wrong.....not even on the right beat, especially on the dance macabre. Is she a musician?Also the patterns do not coincide with the music at all. Just curious ;D

Conductor is Boyanna Toyich. 

The out of sync is a video problem.  Yes she did beat with the music. 

I agree that her conducting leaves more to be desired.  I felt she was not activly communicating gestures to the pianists, and not encouraging minute in-the-moment interpretation tweaks.  I would have like to see more connection between her and the ensemble.

I've done something similar just without a conductor and in a smaller scale.  Was really challenging because everyone expresses differently and one has to get that all in sinc.  The fact that I'd only met any of these people 5 days before and saw the music for the first time at the same time certainly made this an fun experience
