Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra

I have a wide taste for music. From enjoying Jazz performance two weeks ago to clubbing at Belmondos last week , this week let's turn to Classical music!It was an enthralling experience watching the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra performed. How long have i not enjoyed one such great classical performance since the last one at Petronas Philharmonic Orchestra two years ago. And it was something i anticipated much since coming here. Afterall , Olomouc is a city of rich musical and theatrical background. How could someone miss it?
From Allegro , Andante to Presto , i was drifted away by every single note of it. The strings , the woodwinds , the percussions , all with each distinctive tone yet all were played with one soul. One music , one soul. From the initial string ensemble with moderate tempo , the music gradually built up. The solo performance by the violinist really melted the audience hearts. The skillful articulation of every notes and impeccable coordination with the orchestra just made the whole performance one worth remembering. But nothing beats the climax of the night - Beethoven 7th symphony. The instructor was so agitated , the players were so passionate , the music shrouded the whole hall and penetrated everyone. By the time it culminated ,one just shouted "Bravo!' follwed by whole house of standing ovation which lasted for 5 minutes. I was just speechless and in awe...
A night to remember..
