I’ve just got home late this evening, after a rewarding rehearsal conducting the #brisbanecitypopsorchestra through Mascagni’s Easter Hymn, Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, and excerpts from Der Fledermaus, to find this in my letterbox: the recording of #bernardhaitink conducting his final concert. I ordered this when he was alive; now it arrives after he has left us. His influence on my younger me to conduct was very important, & now that it has arrived, after an evening doing what I love, is particularly sad, and I’d be lying if I’d said that I haven’t shed some tears.
Thank you again, Maestro #conductor #conducting #orchestra #adrianhead #bcpo #mascagni #easterhymn #derfledermaus #tchaikovsky #nutcrackersuite
