The Berliner Philharmoniker was ________.
I can't find a word good enough to fill up that blank.
They bring you into a world of magic the moment you step into the concert hall at Esplanade. Just listening to them tune is enough to captivate you. Mahler's Symphony No. 1 was great, and somehow it didn't feel like it actually lasted one hour. I really enjoyed the little stunt at the ending, put up by the accompanying timpanist. I hope I wasn't the only one who saw that swift movement ;D Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances was really unique. I've heard another orchestra play it before, but it is simply just not "ordinary" when being placed in Sir Simon Rattle's hands.
It is a "concert" that I will remember for the rest of my life. It is indeed the World's Best Orchestra :)
Now I shall start gloating about it again. The fact that someone is going to be paying $680 (plus $3 sistic fee LOL) to sit at the seat I sat at just this morning. HAHAHA. Open Rehearsal, Entry by Invitation Only. Yay, I feel loved ^^
