Very interesting photo. And ouch! on your unfruitful eight-hour drive. How disappointing! Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this! ("google alert" just led me to your post) Actually, the concerto was the second half, it didn't start until 21:30... I hope you have better luck next time - I've been invited to return to Gottingen for both the 08-09 and 09-10 seasons. Thank you so much for your support! Greetings,
its really kind of you to respond but I wish you hadn`t said 21.30. Even I feel bad now ;)
Cheers,
Buri Thanks for your reactions, but I get a next change because Christan Tettlaff will also play Joachim2 in december in Rotterdam in my neighboorhood, so than I will leave from home early enough. Even 21.30 would have been a problem, because first I have to find a parking place in the middle of that city, than buying a ticket. So I would arrive after the coffeebreak and they do not let you in the concerthall, because you disturb the rest of the audience.
But Rachel wrote me that she will return in Germany, so perhaps next time she can play another rarity like an unknown violinconcerto from her cd rare black composers or the violinconcerto of the black composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor who wrote a violinconcerto for Maud Powell.
But I am lucky here in Holland they will play a lot of rare violinconcerto's: Joachim2, Britten, Penderecki2, Nielsen, Szymanowski1.
And Andre Rieu will play in a big soccer stadium.
