Two evenings of music recently, and I do not have the music playing in the pool for my water aerobics during Monday night, nor the yoga class last Tuesday, two evenings where I told myself that if I 'were deaf, I would be deeply unhappy. But as I'm not deaf, I was deeply happy these two evenings there.
Last Sunday, for starters, I went with Anne, Carole and Catherine Cecilia see who was playing the flute in a concert of the Symphony Orchestra of the Vancouver Academy of Music at the Orpheum.
My only chance to go to Orpheum fell into the water, in the case said, in September 2007 when the city employees were on strike and Crowded House concert that I should have been moved - rain-at Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park.
So I finally found the room, absolutely magnificent
I am looking forward to listen to the Piano Concerto No. 2 by Rachmaninoff, so I listened in my youth I really know by heart. From the first notes played on piano by the hallucinatory Zhou Tian-Yu, 17 years ago, I found it always sparks so much emotion after all these years. I was literally transported, and even the applause between movements of the crowd not accustomed too, despite repeated requests from the conductor to wait until the last movement, I have not been prevented from leaving on a cloud. .. I have not filmed too busy to listen with fervor, but if you do not know this wonderful concerto, here's a little piece I found on You Tube:
Last Wednesday, another evening full of musical emotions. Canadian singer Jill Barber gave a performance in the basement of my office to record his show airs on television next summer, French and English. Two floors down only, piece of cake to go!
The only thing I knew it was all good Anne and Anthony had told me last year after seeing it during the Olympics, while I was blocked in work like every night. I never listened to his songs, but I trust to Anne, while at 19h, we got off at the studio 40, which was soon filled with people who obviously knew and loved the girl.
This is not really the style of music that I particularly like in general, but it charmed me completely with its retro look, its pretty dress full of feathers and his love songs that come to shake a little nerve. She has recently started to teach French and sang several songs with a little accent absolutely irresistible. I was also pleased to acknowledge the excellent musicians who accompanied him, I had already much appreciated in the concert Royal Wood I saw last year -again with my accomplice Anne musical. Overall a great time of music that makes you warm to the heart and makes you smile on her lips.
And finally, no other concert in a completely different style, just a Radiohead song that keeps going through my head since I saw Fire film. I recommend this movie 100 000 times in passing. Do not miss it, it is one of the strongest films I have ever seen in my life.
