Houston Symphony, last night, with Helene Grimaud playing Ravel’s Concerto in G. Grimaud is fabulous, and from the second row, I had an exceedlingly clear vantage point to observe her artistry.
Last that anyone heard of was King Crimson at Anthem in DC back in September. This is rumored to have been their last ever US performance. It was off the charts. No words to describe fully. We were right in the sweet spot. CD of the performance being issued in a couple weeks. Can preorder on Amazon. Check it out.
Hey jeroboam! Um, isn’t Grimaud’s artistry something one hears?
More generally, I’ve always thought that if the experience of music is improved by the visuals, the music itself is lacking. Seems to me paying attention to what you’re seeing is a way of not paying attention to what you’re hearing. Idiosyncratic view, I know.
