Masters of the music


I went to Shinjuku yesterday. And I walked toward Tower Record near Shinjuku station. I got three DVDs at Tower Record. They are all classical music. One of the DVD is a documentary about my favorite conductor Carlos Kleiber. It has concert and rehearsal scene. His music is always fresh and exciting. He conducts like dancing. And his talk is very interesting. The rehearsal scene would show you his fabulous thought and joy of music. And other DVD is a piano concert. Recently, DVDs has not only concert scene but interview and rehearsal scene as an appendix. It's really nice. It has a long interview scene with the player. It was really interesting. Well, the DVD is about a piano festival Masters of the keybord. About five pianists play a couple of piano pieces. I highly recommend Francesco Libetta's performance. His keyboard technics is amazing. Especially, the performance of Etude en forme de valse by Saint Saens is eye-opening. Everybody says that piece is the most difficult piano piece in the world. His fingers float like a butterfly and produce incredible acrobatic sound.
