Valentina Lisitsa doing a bit of "supplemental conducting"
in a recording session of the Rachmaninoff concertos with
the London Symphony Orchestra.
I love it! I love it twice! I love it thrice!
😀 :heart: 😀
Still waiting for the album!
Have to go cool off for a while!
:p
See the short video here.
And she seems to enjoy every single second of it 😀
I never met a sound engineer so far. But I will keep that in mind 😀
Oh yeah! And you know the members of the orchestra seem to be enjoying it also. And even more incredible, the sound engineer looks really happy. And you know that when the sound engineer is actually happy then the person is an awesome pianist — because sound engineers are NEVER happy! :p
I remember hearing some horror stories of Glen Gould recording. He really gave them grief.
I heard some of those horror stories too. Thankfully the music he produced is infinitely more memorable, since he knew how it had to be saved for all of us who care.
@ Carlo.True! And of course eventually he got rid of them altogether and did his own engineering. The one person who could please him — himself. Kinda sorta.
