Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. For his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. -Psalm 1:1,2
5.31.2007 here comes a post...
i've been having rehearsals at ri and vjc for the past few days so i've had little time to do anything else. to show how busy i am, i shall present to you... A DAY IN MY LIFE! (which happens to be yesterday) 7am wake up dreamily (half asleep), brush teeth, wash up, have breakfast, lug cello to car, reach RI. 8am start rehearsal, listen to kevin's rantings forever 11am go for dental checkup in school, get teeth ripped up (or so it felt), got back for rehearsal. 12nn finished rehearsal, went to yoshinoya at j8 with adriel and other blokes from RISE. met up with yiyang and got on a taxi with nnnaakug and headed for vjc. by that time i think we were pretty sweaty from all the cello weightlifting. except for nnnaakug, of course, who only carried a pathetic bow case (hopefully with a bow inside). 2pm reached destination. set up instruments, got pushed around by mr sze (literally) then got jacked by the harpist. again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. had a few breaks here and there. we (as in yiyang, adriel and i) tried not to offend nnnaakug today in case we hurt his feelings. 5++pm had dinner break, ate nasi lemak with a fork. thereafter witnessed superhuman strength as some acs guy screwed up the snapple vending machine and got some free snapples. and yes, we couldnt resist suaning nnnaakug now. we found out he had some sort of longlost kungfu skills that he could summon when provoked, albeit in minute amounts. 6.10pm started rehearsals again. 9.30++pm got on the car (bound homeward), fetched adriel and some other guy home. 10+pm actually got home. dad wanted to make me play tennis at that ungodly hour with him and my brother. i did, with a bit of reluctance.. 12midnight finally got to bed and slept like mad. i think i cant say anything else.. im pretty tired now. still have holiday homework.. hopefully i have enough time to do it. i'll try to post in the near (ok, maybe not so near) future. that's it for now!
layout by: hilary header by: sealedcards kwek mu yi chang jonshin charmaine mags huixian nadia and one best friend who does not want his blog to be revealed. hrm. i wonder who. One of my favourite piano concertos! And my favourite Russian pianist. Can't find stuff like that all the time. Title: Concerto No.2 -- Composer: Rachmaninov -- Pianist: Evgeny Kissin -- Orchestra: BBC Symphony - Sir Andrew Davis All four movements of Schumann's Piano Quintet in Eb. Pure composing genius, I say. And Maisky's playing! Title: Quintet for Piano and Strings in E flat Major -- Composer: Schumann -- Performers: Violins: Renaud Capuçon, Sayaka Shoji; Viola: Lars Anders Tomter; Cello: Mischa Maisky Another one of my favourite piano concertos! And Yundi Li does it pretty well. Title: Piano Concerto No. 1 -- Composer: Chopin -- Pianist: Yundi Li My favourite violin concerto with David Oistrakh - I think he plays this piece better than Heifetz although Heifetz is superior technically. It's more soulful. Actually my fav. is the Hilary Hahn recording but they didnt give the HTML code. So sad. Title: Violin Concerto -- Composer: Sibelius -- Violinist: David Oistrakh The best cellist ever plays one of the nicest cello works ever written. Brilliant! Title: Cello Concerto in E Minor -- Composer: Elgar -- Cellist: Jacqueline Du Pre The Polonaise-Fantasie by Chopin. I'm playing this. Apparently I am suited to play this because of my style. That's what my teacher said. Go figure. It's beautiful anyway. Title: Polonaise-Fantasie -- Composer: Chopin -- Pianist: Spencer Myers I'm playing this too. Very Schumann-ish, which is nice. But still Chopin. Title: Ballade No. 2 -- Composer: Chopin -- Pianist: Zimerman One of my favourite violin pieces by the best violinist ever! Title: Introduction and Rondo Capriccio -- Composer: Saint-Saens -- Violinist: Jascha Heifetz |
