Last night I went to the Chicago Symphony to see the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra with Matt who is also a classical music fan. They played the Prokofiev 'Classical' Symphony, the first Shostakovich Cello Concerto and Tchaikovsky's Pathetique which premiered days before his lethal encounter with a glass of water (cholera infested). The orchestra hall was nice and intimate, but the acoustics could have been better at high altitudes where they seat students and other undesirables.
NB. To anyone who knows that I really should have been working on a research proposal instead of going to concerts - please disregard this post.
