Sunday night concert yesterday was Joyce Yang and the unbelievably beautiful Tchaikovski 1st piano concerto. She's an ex AMC student made good in a big way . What a star. 2nd half of concert was Ricard Strauss Symphonia domestica. A brilliant introduction from conductor Leonard Slatkin of Detroit Symphony - made such a difference.
Tonight off to Marriage of Figaro at the Wheeler Opera House - 2nd of the Beaumarchais trilogy Aspen Opera are doing this summer . We saw ` Barber of Seville ` 2 weeks ago and then Ghosts of Versailles in 2 weeks time. Last time we saw Figaro in entirety was with Andrew Latchmore at Glyndebourne 8 years or so ago.
Tomorrow we have Steven Osborne and his wife coming for lunch . He , would you believe it, is a Linlithgow boy ( and ex St Mary's Music School , Edinburgh ) who has had huge international success as a concert pianist . He has concerts in Aspen on Wed & Friday nights. Very exciting.
