Some might indeed, but not, I suspect, Stevenson or Hamelin, the two pianists from my list who are NOT dead!
Um, Argerich isn't dead, nor is Pollini.
Rachmaninoff (OK now, j_menz?!)
Valentina Lisitsa is coming to my city next year to play Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2! I'm seriously considering bringing flowers for her. Can anyone advise me on the proper protocol for giving flowers to a soloist?
In view of her rock-star-like status, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine I wonder if she now employs bodyguards that will prevent any strangers approach her. Yes, you may still see people give her flowers, but that's probably just a show that's pre-arranged with her manager.
But this is only my opinion, of course.
I was thinking that maybe I would give her the flowers during the applause as she's taking a bow. Maybe I could approach the platform and hold out the flowers to her?
You are not alone my friend.
" x.x.x.x.x... Music is not malabarism... she seems to have a lack of deep musical sensibility.But this is only my opinion, of course.
You are not alone my friend.Thal
Neither of you are! She's more than merely competent, for sure, but I've yet to feel really drawn to any of her performances that I've heard.Best,Alistair
It must be the spirit of CHRISTMAS ! ! This is the day I have been waiting for ! ! ! THAL and AHINTON sharing a common viewpoint ! W O W ! ! ! Will this last until the New Year???
Indeed, we have previously agreed about the merits of Bowen's PC No.4.Thal
I always loved the original, but thought that Liszt's version of the piece was very ugly.
I'm sorry, but what? What do you mean Liszt's version of the piece, the only version is Liszt's version, he wrote the piece and would have played it brilliantly.
ONLY IM ALOWWED
ONLY IM ALOWWED TO GIVE HER Flowers!!!If you do you're dead!!!
You old romantic
