Are there only two flutes in the whole ochestra? xD That's sad.

[nervouslife]

@Mainehorse Flutes? You mean Strings?!

[Mainehorse]

@nervouslife Nope. I mean Flutes xD

@Mainehorse

Most orchestral pieces are arranged to have a very small amount of winds:]]]

they wouldn't blend right if there were more :3

I thought Anthony Dean Griffey was dreamy!

Hi neighbor! We were 4th row center. Great for seeing the soloists and strings, but lousy for visibility. Changing seats for next season so we can see more of the stage.

[Pywacket2]

I saw this wonderful performance last night at Carnegie Hall. Mendelssohn continues to amaze and astound. Elijah was a revelation. And the soloists were splendid, especially Shenyang, the young Chinese base-baritone who sand Elijah. Bravo, brava, bravi.

@Pywacket2 Ha. I was there at Carnegie too. I also thought Shenyang was particularly good. And yes the work is a great one.
