Bitch yeah I watched the MET!!!!!
Man, they're so great man, now I see why they're regarded as the best among the US orchestras!! NYPO is nowhere near that!
The ensemble, and the sound, it comes right into your face, unlike the Phil players, sitting there like working an office job, with no passion and intensity.
David Chan, the concertmaster, holy shit man, he's a motherfucker!! His tone is so round and big, and his technique is just flawless!! But the music he makes man, THAT'S the shit I'm talking about!!! I haven't seen a violinist like that on the stage for quite some time, it's even rare among soloists!
Levine's conducting was simple and clear. He never does big movements, but you know what he wanted ---- even from the back.
But of course, it takes a great orchestra to carry out the conductor's intention.
The orchestra's response to a bit was EXACTLY half a beat delay --- no matter what tempo Levine took. They followed him as tight as superglue!
The result of the delayed response, was the round and bubble-like sound.
Damn it was good!
GO MET!!! GO MET!!!
