  • How beautiful!

    Classical music on original instruments sounds to me the only way to be performed. It sounds just so much more natural than with the big modern orchestras.

  • I don't even believe in God, but the incredible burst of music at the moment that light is created is an almost unbearable ecstasy, something that should not be listened to too many times lest the effect lessen.

  • I enjoy classical music the most when musicians don't have a dress code.

  • @71259mark He also looked more tired and (imho) worried - as if he might not be able to come up with it due to tiredness. And perhaps he is both shy and non-demonstrative. I think you read a way lot into it which isn't truly 'visable.' - more about you than them.... they look very much like a very collegial team, at least.

  • The conductor really seems to be enjoying Adam & Eve

    i dont blame him, its my favouite part too

  • @71259mark Hahaaaaa!

  • @71259mark pathetic imagination I think!

  • Awesome! Also, the bass looks like Ralph Fiennes.

  • I LOVED the director's expressions! :D

  • By the way, who is the bass soloist? At the end, when that pretty young thing happily reached over and touched him, and he didn't respond at all, I was left with the distinct impression that he is extremely gay, and, for that matter, quite rude. She was obviously pleased with their performance and wanted to share her enthusiasm. He pretty much threw it back in her face. What a punk.

  • @eggplnt It would have made the very devout Haydn proud to read your words. "According to one account, at a performance shortly before the composer's death, the audience broke into spontaneous applause at the coming of "light" and "Papa" Haydn, in a typical gesture weakly pointed upwards and said: "Not from me—everything comes from up there!"

  • @buckleymcdaniel You're the girl, he's the girl... sometimes you're both the girl...
