Season Opening

Today, a much longed season in New York has opened for me. Fall arrives and the big concert and opera houses open their doors again. Opportunity to indulge in fantastic musical, theatrical, or combined events. A pleasures of its own. An unparalleled enjoyment.

The New York Philharmonic under music director Lorin Maazel starts off the season not only with a new (and for the first time) Global Sponsor Credit Suisse which makes we feel very homey but also with a special event "The Tchaikovsky Experience: A Philharmonic Festival" (Sep 26 - Oct 16).

In the impressive Avery Fisher Hall, I was part of the New York Philharmonic's impressive 14,509th concert and enjoyed it to the full:

Lorin Maazel, Conductor
Simon Trpceski, Piano

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23 (1874-75, rev. 1889)
Manfred Symphony after Byron, Op. 58 (1885)
