Moscow State Symphony - Aaron
An endless amount of images come to the mind at an orchestra. The violin, trumpet, the harp, the tuba and many other instruments make endless sounds and music that make the imagination run wild. The Moscow State Symphony was my first live orchestral performance. Now it is one of my favorite orchestral performances.
The combined sound of all the instruments made the performance very enjoyable. In my opinion the violins were the best part. All the violins were in perfect sync with each other. Sometimes they played very slowly and other times very quickly. The drums added a powerful beat that increased the intensity of the show. In the first couple performances it was very clear that they were creating the sounds of two different rivers that merge into one. One river was very calm and peaceful, while the other was raging and churning. At the point where the two rivers merged into one created unique sounds. It was at full force yet still peaceful at the same time. My favorite piece was after the intermission where they played very fast. I prefer the faster pieces rather than the slow ones. Overall, the performance was spectacular and very enjoyable.
The conductor had interesting ways of leading the orchestra. He really put his emotion into it, and got very involved. His hand gestures were very forceful and strong. His conducting was a show in itself. Just watching him was very interesting. He conducted differently than how you see other conductors do it. It might possibly be because of the cultural differences, or the musical style. I also thought it was interesting how he walked back and forth throughout the show. I honestly thought that was distracting when he walked off the stage and back. I also enjoyed the extra performances that he played for us, they very interesting and different. The conductor did a great job, and there would have not been a performance without him.
My favorite part of the show was the solo violinist who was only 20 years old but was magnificent. His hard work and practice paid off. He could range anywhere from the lowest note on the violin to the highest note and create beautiful music. He played extremely fast at times. I like how he went back and forth with the entire orchestra. No doubt he was one of the best performers of the entire show.
The Moscow State Symphony was by far one of the best musical performances I’ve seen. I would go back in a second. The music was magnificent and very pleasing. It deserves a recommendation by everyone.
