i watched Vivaldi's Four Seasons last night at the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall. and it was the best way to start a Friday evening! i was at the edge of my seat thinking about what season they were playing. everyone was amaaazeeeng!!
and on the 2nd part of the evening, another group played Tchaikovsky's Concert #1. equally mesmerizing but much, much heavier than the four seasons. i got a headache and a hungry stomach afterwards from seriously listening to the whole thing. i think it deserved a different concert altogether, not just some sort of second act. ohwell, this is russia. tchaikovsky is their homeboy!
so sad i didnt bring my camera with me. next goal: Bolshoi Ballet or Placido Domingo at the end of Feb.
you gotta love Moscow for all its culture! ZUZDARUVYA!
