Gustavo Dudamel for Stravinsky's Firebird
A very young Venezuelan conductor. I went to a concert at San Francisco Symphony orchestra on Friday, March 21. "The Firebird(1910)" composed by Stravinsky was marvelous in that the conductor's powerfully expressive interpretation was seamlessly echoed throughout the stage. I happened to be at the center terrace--it was the cheapest, but the best seat in fact. Kirill Gerstein played Piano concerto No. 1 by Rachmaninov. His fingers seemed to have no weight. I feel like listening to Rachmaninov again. Symphony Orchestra reflecting the SF city hall Orchestra hall--why are orchestra halls always reddish?
