concert of memory
Jan. 8th, 2008 08:24 pmSFCV's feature article this week is a bunch of us reviewers and editors listing the best concerts we attended in the last calendar year. I must say that LJ archives are really useful for making that decision, and for thinking of what to say about them.
Actually, it's not necessarily the best concerts. It's the best ones that were reviewed by SFCV, whether or not you were the individual reviewing them. (We attend a lot of concerts. I've often seen one, two, or on one occasion three of my fellow SFCV reviewers at a concert.) The actual best concert I attended last year was a free lunchtime rendition of Brahms's Op. 25 quartet at Stanford in June. Not only is this not the sort of thing we'd review, I don't even remember who the pianist was. So it goes: but the music was good.
