Sergei Rachmaninoff. Piano Concerto No.2 in C Minor, Op. 18

Modest Mussorgsky. Pictures at an Exhibition (Orch. Maurice Ravel)

-

This was a very special concert featuring two of my important classical pieces from high school memory. 1) I played a solo intro of the Pictures at an Exhibition with bass clarinet back in grade 10- pretty significant moment for a boy who had no interest in music to start contributing and taking own time off to practice the single melody line. I've always thought that the majestic-ness of this piece is that of Brahms'. 2) Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.2 was the very first classical piece that I've went to listen with the girl whom I liked back in grade 11. That concert at the National Art Centre was one of the many ones that I was going to see with her in that season.

무소르그스키의 '전람회의 그림'과 라흐미나노프의 피아노 협주곡 2번-- 고등학교의 기억이 베어져있는 두곡을 토론토 심포니에서 다시 들을 수 있는기회가 있었다. 1) 교외활동으로서 특정한 열정없이 참여하던 오케스트라에서, '전람회의 그림'의 유명한 프롬나드 도입부분을 베이스 클라리넷 솔로로 맞게됨과 동시에 클래식음악에 흥미를 갖게되는 큰 계기가되었다. 이 후 '베토벤 바이러스'를 통하여 더욱더 이분야에 빠져든걸로 짐작된다.
