Again my Thursday will be cooler than yours

This time it’s Sir Andras Schiff at Carnegie. With Bootsy, for those who remember him.

Schiff didn’t even announce a program. He’s been doing these concerts where he plays what he feels like and has a mic and discusses the music.

Like being in the audience when he did his Beethoven Sonata tutorials.

"my Thursday will be cooler than yours"

So you think, Bosie-boy...

I get to spend Thursday evening in the company of the ever-fabulous Mrs. George.

But...seriously...

That's cool. It'll be interesting to see what he plays and what he says.

[Horace]

That's neat. I love how much he loves the music. I am sure that will be infectious in his talk. I wish I loved his playing more than I do, but to each their own.

[Mik]

Thursday is lucky night. You gonna get lucky with Bootsy?

[jon-nyc]

God I hope not.

I loved most all of his LvB sonatas.

I heard the late sonatas live.

So, how was it?

heres the program (lifted from x)

I’ve seen him about 5 times. Once in vienna playing/conducting Mozart piano concertos. And the rest here with mostly bach and lvb.

Amazing how it’s all from memory.

Always a pleasure.

The show was fantastic. At one point he says “This is my Carnegie hall debut - for speaking anyway.

Those Fm variations of Haydn were unknown to me. Delightful.

He played a Bosendorfer VC series.

[jon-nyc]

He looked quite a bit skinnier than I remembered. And older than his 69 years.

Oh I forgot to mention the encores:

Mozart C major sonata and…

The Israeli National Anthem.
