Trio Lavolta
Violin, Cello, Piano
I had high hopes for yesterday's concert, sadly it was another one that I just didn't like.
The programme started with a piece by Shostakovich, some of his waltz pieces are beautiful but this wasn't. I endured it (yes that's how it felt) hoping that Beethoven would be better - it wasn't. I left, life is too short to spend time on something that just isn't pleasurable. The programmes aren't always available to view online beforehand.

Oh dear. Well, I guess they can't all be winners.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Debra, it is what it is, and they are free so that's a bonus, although most people give a donation.
DeleteIt is unfortunate that some concerts are not to our liking, and it was good of you to have stayed as walking out would have been rther rude and you are hardly that type of person, Polly. Did you get a chance to talk to any other of the attendees for their thoughts. Perhaps you ere not alone?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question Beatrice. I looked around but couldn't tell from peoples faces whether they were enjoying it, a few looked bored, I did see a few leaving, and a few were asleep, but that's quite common at that time of day!! I think by the law of averages that a few shared my opinion.
DeleteGood of you to spend some time giving it a chance :)
ReplyDeleteI do like to think that it will get better, sometimes it does!
DeleteIt sounds like a lovely combination, potentially. I'm so sorry it fell short.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought Jeanie.
DeleteOh, that's too bad. Hopefully someone in the audience was able to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there were many who did enjoy it.
DeleteWhat a shame, only once did my husband and I not like the program, but we'd taken a sandwich and bought a coffee so sat and enjoyed those till there was a break in the playing and slipped outside and sat in the sunshine instead!
ReplyDeleteThe grounds are lovely to sit in on a nice warm day.
DeleteSorry to hear the concert was not that good.
ReplyDeleteOverall I enjoy most of them.
DeleteSorry to hear about the concert! I tried to follow your lovely blog but I failed...
ReplyDeleteWell, have a beautiful day and take care!
