As I was looking through the Feedster and Technorati listings for reviews of the Gurrelieder concert, I was pleased to run across a couple of other people who have been blogging about (and from!) the TFC:
- Rishi, who performed in February’s and July’s Gurrelieder
- Carol Minor at Minor Music, who attended the performance last weekend and with her keen eye noted some details of Levine’s conducting
- Five O’Clock Shadow, who attended the February performance and appears to be a Boston student
- Maury D’Annato of My Favorite Intermissions, who joins the chorus of bloggers and reviewers griping about balance problems with the soloists
- Kelly Corcoran of, um, her MySpace, who sang with us in July (and whom I didn’t realize was a conductor)
- fanw, who writes intelligently about the trade-offs involved in singing in a major work like the Gurrelieder as an amateur chorister
- Andrea, who sang in the February Gurrelieder and wrote about some of the logistical challenges of singing the last five minutes of a 130-minute-long work
- Marie, whose dad is in the TFC and who wishes she could sing like Karita Mattila (don’t we all?)
- Willowfinn, who had an impromptu Gurrelieder dance party with his/her friends in the back row at Symphony Hall back in February, and who also points out the real reason for the piece’s magnificence: “Schoenberg + zombies + a dude named Waldemar + a veritable forest of violins = WIN!”
