Bach – Art of the Fugue, BWV 1080
Peteris Vasks – String Quartet No. 4
Brahms – Quintet in G major, Op 111
I enjoy going to concerts, but find I often forget what I’ve seen.
The Bach was very ‘bachy’, but listening to him always makes me feel smarter (listening to it again this morning, lets see how much work I can get done today!)
The Vasks was the real treat of the evening. Lots of classical style feelings, but it was written more recently (the author is still alive). It had beautiful climaxes and everyone jumped to their feet to give a standing ovation at the end. It was quite long. I look forward to hearing more of him… there are few songs on Rhapsody, which I’ll check out now.
