lessons from Section 18

What you learn from the rear-shed jumbotrons at Tanglewood during the Mahler 2nd:

 1) Choristers' friends and family sit back there so they can shoot phone pix of their peeps on-screen during their close-ups.

 2) The BSO violins really like playing that pizzicato section of the Ländler, and you can see them collectively dreaming about forming a ukulele orchestra.

 3) The audience is every bit as fidgety during the slow bits with the action in their face as when our sad lack of multi-media technology left us solely at the mercy of our ears.

And yes, dude sitting next to me, yes! the horns of Judgement are blowing in the distance! now is the time to crack your knuckles!

curtain calls as more of a sports bar experience

Handel Mahler additional linkery

First, a reminder that tomorrow's Giulio Cesare opener at the Met will be livestreamed here (audio only) starting at 7:30 Eastern.  That's Daniels, Dessay, Coote, Dumaux, Bardon, with Bicket conducting, in the transferred Glyndebourne production, it of the Bollywood choreography. Fingers crossed for an interpolated Dil Cheez Kya Hai.

Second, audio of the aforementioned BSO / ASvO Mahler 3rd has been archived for a limited time:

ASvO alert

Prior to Anne Sofie von Otter's appearance with the Boston Symphony Orchestra tonight in the Mahler 3rd, a short interview here on singing Mahler, the Terezin project, etc.

The concert itself should be broadcast live tonight at 7pm Eastern, somewhere around here (and repeated Sunday, April 7 at 1pm). Sorry to be vague, WGBH's supplementary web streams are something of a work in progress.

Oh, and Daniele Gatti is conducting.
