In Reply to: So could you even hear Yuja through all the hearing aid tones? How'd she do? [nt] posted by Chris from Lafayette on August 23, 2015 at 11:15:57:
Row 'A' of the balcony but far enough away that my aging eyes got little entertainment.That, plus the fact that it was obviously a fancy dress rehearsal for their upcoming tour? As such, Yuja was actually using sheet music and tuning pages as she played! And, at least from my perspective, MTT was somewhere else in the building and there didn't seem to me to be a lot of connectedness between piano and orchestra, keeping in mind that it was Beethoven's 4th which kinda lets each play in turn.
A fault of MTT that I've witnessed on more than one occasion! Sometimes our boy is 'there' and other times, not so much.
So bottom line, not the best seat in the house for enjoying Yuja and not the best piece of music to judge her by.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
