Temirkanov conducts Mozart & Mahler

My first concert at Royal Albert Hall. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Temirkanov. They played the Mozart piano concerto and Mahler.. The pianist soloist was good... very good.. and the Mahler also. My first experience listening to Mahler live. It's a very long piece.. sat until my buttocks quite pain. Although we had very good seats (right in the middle - £30 tickets, we got for £15 only! ) the chairs are not very comfortable. It's not our Esplanade kind of comfortable chairs.

That's Imperial College above. It's located just next to Royal Albert Hall.




Interior of the hall.. not supposed to take actually.. but, i still took!



The magnificent brass section.. the opening trumpet solo of the Mahler really made me miss my trumpet abit... :(

Well, something unpleasant did happen during the concert.. when the pianist was having a solo part, and everyone was so absorbed with it, i suddenly heard a very familiar Nokia msg tune.. So it's not just singaporeans who do not off their mobiles during concerts, movies etc.. hmm.....
