Maazel
Saturday May 6, 2006 - Concertgebouw Amsterdam
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Lorin Maazel (conductor)
Maazel is the most arrogant conductor I know, but some of his concerts were very good - especially when he conducts R. Strauss. Tonight he played his own arrangement of some orchestral parts from the Ring. It's always good to hear the Concertgebouw Orchestra play Wagner, but after the concert the conclusion of my concert friend and I was: they could better play three times the Ouverture Meisteringer before the break and three times Siegfrieds Trauermarsch after the break instead of this compilation...
