RussiaFest at Orpheum theatre

Thanks to Prof. Nelly's tickets, Ruby and I have chances to appreciate the masterworks of RussiaFest, conducted by Bramwell Tovey with VSO, Piano by Freddy Kempf. Freddy, thirty years old, played the Rachmainoff Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor, Op.18. The VSO seemed not accordant with Freddy's tempo and the conductor could not "push" the whole orchestra. I kinda fell asleep at the second movement Adagio sostenuto. After the intermission, Tchaikovsky Op.58 was played.
