Am invited to the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra’s concert by my regular bridge partner tonight. Tonight Sir Simon Rattle is doing a couple of Schubert songs (which I am not that keen on) and other short pieces of music. Shall be great again. The seats my friend has are right above the orchestra at their backs. So whenever I am there, I get to see the conductor at work all the time. Sir Simon is quite funny and a showman. As I searched youtube to find something to share with you, I found Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonics play Mahler in 2003. My, my, Rattle was young and slim in 2003. Got quite fat since then…

living in vienna? you must be kidding. check out Staatsoper or Musikverein, they usually offer real cheap student tickets. it’s well worth going…
