Moscow State Symphony by Kendra

After the reading about the Symphony, it was what I had expected. I expected it to be very classical and well preformed and it was. It was a little longer than what I expected.

My first impressions were that theses performers must have to be very dedicated and practice a lot of hours to be so talented at what they do. I left with the same impressions. There were parts of the symphony, that were very pretty and it was amazing how much passion the musicians had.

I don’t really like classical music very much, but some parts of this performance blew me away. Especially with how much energy they played with. I liked the man who played the violin solo, he was very talented. I have to say though that I didn’t like all the encores that kept going on and on. I think that one would have done the job.

I would describe this to my friends as being well done, a lot of passion, and if it is your sort of thing that you like then you should go and it is worth it.

I really enjoyed the speaker afterwards, even though he only spoke Russian and we had to have a translator, it was still really neat. The question and answer time with the performers is always my favorite time. He said that he had been playing for about 40 years and had done lots of traveling with the Moscow State Symphony.

I really didn’t learn anything about myself from this performance, but I think that it is always good to listen and try new things even if you don’t particularly like them.
