Classic music concert




Last night, I have been to a classical music concert in “Palau de la Música Cátalan (Catalonia Music palace) in Barcelona with my wife.
This place is architecture of traditional Catalonia and designated as one of the world heritage.

The program is all Mozart.

Overture Marriage of Figaro
Symphony No. 40 in G minor K550
Requiem in D minor K626

All three pieces is well known worldwide.

The player was Ukrainian radio symphony orchestra and conductor was Mrs.(!) Victoria Zhadko.

The performance is mediocre, lack of power of low strings, the ensemble of winds are disaster. In addition, there was big mistake in trombone part at third bar of “Tuba Mirum” of Requiem…

However, in total, We spent a good time with classical music.

By the way, how do you think the concert that start quarter past ten in the evening?

Hi Nightwish-san,

One point.
In the 4th paragraph, you wrote: "All three pieces is well known worldwide."

Maybe it should be written:
"All three pieces are well-known in the world."
