Off to dinner and a symphony tonight. Tonight the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is being conducted by Xian Zhang (music Director with the Giuseppe Verdi Orchestra in Milan, Italy).
Tonight's Program:
Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835)
Overture to I Capuleti e I Montecchi
Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
Piano Concerto with Till Fellner, Pianist
Piotr Ilych Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)
Symphony No. 5
Should be another wonderful evening for my wife and me. We're celebrating out 16th anniversary this weekend. Dinner at the Spaghetti Factory before the show and ending with some Russian musical fireworks.
As usual, I will press on you fine folks here at the Asylum to provide me with your recommendations for best performances/recordings of any of the above. The only one I have currently is Tchaikovsky's 5th with Karajan and the Berliner on DG vinyl.
Do svidaniya!
