Prelude

April 4, 2006 at 9:07 AM

Tonight I’m going to the Kennedy Center to hear Yo Yo Ma play three of the Bach Suites for Unaccompanied Cello. Wow! I have recordings of all the Bach Unaccompanied Cello Suites by Yo Yo Ma and Casals, but there is nothing quite as exciting as a live performance.

Today I received a brochure from the Washington Performing Arts Society (WPAS) about their concerts for the 2006/2007 season. Here’s what caught my eye.

• Cleveland Orchestra


• Philadelphia Orchestra


• Andras Schiff


• Yevgeny Kissin


• Sarah Chang


• Pinchas Zukerman


• Joshua Bell

Joshua Bell is the coverboy for the classical music series on the WPAS website. Do you see that, Sydney?

I took a look at violinist CDs and DVDs on Amazon.com. A fellow v.commie, Scott68, has written lots of very good, very helpful reviews. He writes from the perspective of a violinist. Thanks, Scott68.

I’ll write about Yo Yo Ma’s concert. I’m so excited!
