It was quite a long day at work on Saturday. Whoever booked the last appointment wrote the wrong thing! I expected to finish around 4pm, but ended up couldn't leave until 5pm.
After a long day of work...went to TSO with V.
I had never thought about going to TSO before V asked me. And no one around me has ever expressed any interest in going to the TSO. (Except, of course, X. But she "doesn't count" because she is just one of the most cultural people I've ever met in my life.) I've never really been a fan of classical music. The only time I would listen to this type of music is probably when I'm working. Most of the time I'm not even paying attention. It's just to have something in the background.
Being highly interested in watching people play instruments, I decided this was something I could try. So...2+ hours at the TSO, featuring Ingrid Fliter playing Chopin.
What can I say?! It was impressive. I love watching people play instruments, even if I don't fully 'understand' the music. And to see all the symphony instruments being played, and how co-ordinated and synchronized they are is just absolutely amazing. For someone like me who knows very little about the music, it simply sounded like CD quality. No flaws at all.
I really liked the sound of the double bass. It has a very unique sound. Low. Deep. Thick. And somewhat emotional, in a depressing kind of way. But that's what makes it so nice.
It's been a long time since I watched a live show. This was definitely worth me losing study time for the law midterm! LOL
