Classical Court From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here. |

I went to the Houston Symphony yesterday to hear Carmina Burana. My seat was row D, center. It turned out they took out rows A and B for the large orchestra and chorus. I could have tied the conductor's shoes for him.I assume I kind of got to experience what a conductor hears. It felt like the old Maxell tape ad.
It was interesting but not something I'd like to do again.
