Dear Christine, I put more on the blog and mentioned also Ellen. This is how I spent Sunday:
Had a marvelous Sunday. During 3 days the Danil Quartett played the complete string quartetts (15!) of Shostakovitch in the Royal Music School in Brussels. I only witnessed the last day when they executed 6 string quartetts but there was more. It started with a Russian brunch from 9.30-11 AM. During the brunch there was a musical salon in which pupils of the school performed also pieces of Shostakovitch (other string quartetts, trio's for piano, violin and cello, songs and so on). At 11 AM started Danil Quartett. At 3 PM was another musical salon. At 5 PM was a conference on decoding the compositions (marvelous analysis with text; music fragments and pictures) At 6 PM started second session of Danil. After the session the public could talk with the performers who also signed programs, posters and CD's. I lived on another cloud that Sunday and decided to take the day off on Monday. Just phoned my job to tell them I took a holiday because overwhelmed by Shostakovitch... The 15th quartett is just like his 15th symphony a musical will or testament. It's composed of 6 adagio's ! So it is one long requiem in fact, marvelous music, flirting with emotions of nearby physical death and spiritual immortality all the time. Anyway I bought the box with all quartetts, too beautiful NOT to purchase it.
