Post Subject: Glad I'm home illPosted by montepilot on: 10/9/2009

Fortuitously did not attend work today due to illness. Fortuitous in that I was able to hear the entire live broadcast of BSO led by the 33 year old conductor Vasliy Petrenko. I enjoyed the entire program. The Rachmaninoff "Isle of the dead" was my favorite of all on the program. The Shostakovich 10th symphony was quite good. I got the feeling that the BSO responded well to Petrenko. I would have liked to have been in attendance. Symphony Hall is a 10 minute walk from my home. The same performance will be repeated tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. If I could just get rid of this blasted head cold & sore throat I would like to go. There was quite a bit of coughing and throat clearing in the auditorium as the performance proceeded. Evidence of the weather change here in Boston.
