A night with London Symphony Orchestra

Yes, just now, I attended a performance by London Symphony Orchestra , one of the world leading orchestra came to Malaysia and performed in KLCC Philharmonic Hall !!! Conducted by Daniel Harding, the show started with Berg's Violin Concerto, soloist Frank Peter Zimmermann. Bravo, Frank performed passionly as his skills are really superb, clean and clear.

It is followed by Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique (Op.14).. Cor Anglais and oboe solo is totally awesome, and for the brasswind section, they're fantasticly powerful, it is revealed later that the trumpet principal, Mr Maurice is 72 years old and played for more than 30 years in LSO, he's going to retire soon, and this tour to M'sia would be his last major tour, can't believe that, he doesn't looks like how old he is and he totally doesn't play like how old he is !!! Instrumentation blending is so smooth and perfect, from wind to strings and from strings to wind, no break in between and they follow up each other perfectly !!!

The show, did not ended up following the repertoire, they actually encored us main theme from Star Wars as closing, as you would hardly get a chance to see LSO perform again in Malaysia. Yes !! It's the Star Wars originally performed by LSO for the first time it written by John Williams !! Its totally different than what I've listened in the past, really really powerful and thrilling, as I saw the players are enjoying themselves in it joyfully, and I noticed there's 2 violinist almost jumped out from their chair and smiling excitedly.. Again, the brasswind are totally awesome, major core and very important for this song..

LSO, yes, yes, YES!! I'm totally amazed, thrilled and excited !
