Recital in Sao Paulo (2011-08-08)
The intense week of rehearsals and concerts in Sao Paulo is now over and I am packing my suitcases once more. I have enjoyed it tremendously, even if I have seen very little of the city. Every day I was driven from my hotel to the concert hall, so I suppose I saw a few scenes of life here along that route, but other than visiting some (excellent) restaurants and walking on one of the shopping streets, that was about it for sight-seeing. Next time. The concerts with the orchestra kept getting better, and then today I played Bach’s Goldberg Variations to an audience of about 600 who were all around me, and some only a few metres away on the stage. A different set-up from the orchestral concerts. I was very touched to meet some people who had travelled 2000 kilometres from Salvador in the north of the country to come and hear me. Twice I was featured on Globo television (their version of CNN), so I guess that would reach a few people as well...! Last night in the same hall, the Britten Sinfonia from England (with whom I worked last April) performed as part of their South American tour, led by Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto (a friend, of course, of Hannu Lintu), so we went to the concert to listen to them and see them afterwards. It’s always nice to meet up with colleagues in a place faraway from home.
