Vieuxtempsbeerlids near Vieuxtemps statue in Verviers + Hilary Hahn at the drums

September 21, 2008 at 8:11 PM

With some friends we had a bachelorweekend in Maastricht, the lowest city down under in the Netherlands. Before that weekend I realised that my big can with Vieux Temps beerlids was a bit full:
So I thought it was a good idea to drop them in the neighboorhood of Maastricht Verviers in Belgium, the birthplace of Henri Vieuxtemps. Here is also his statue.
Someone on a Dutch classical radioforum found, in discussing Hilary Hahn and her Schoenberg video's, a funny video of Hilary, hoelahoepping and playing drums and piano at the end thus composing a modern (serious??) work. She also plays with dolls at the end.
Ok I am a bit strange with my drunken song for Ysaye 150th birtday and this Vieux Temps action, but do you still think that Hilary Hahn is a typical normal violin girl, although she withdraw for some reason her 134 singing happy birthday for Schoenberg video and her 134 candle burning video for Schoenberg??
