I got to enjoy another gorgeous evening at the Hollywood Bowl as a guest of Alan and Jo Ann. Muriel got covid so Mavis took her place, 96 year old Mavis who is an inspiration to us all!
The program was all Rachmaninoff all night long. Most impressive was Daniil Trifonov playing Piano Concerto #3 in D minor, Op 30, a monumental effort completely memorized. Most of these soloists memorize their concerts and it is always a mystery to me how that works. I also enjoyed the conductor, Daniel Harding who didn’t just keep time but cued for the important entrances and felt to be part of the orchestra.
Below find Daniil Trifonov playing an NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert.
And since I wasn’t driving, here’s a picture out the car window.
