I'm spoiled. I admit it.
Last night, I was with my partner-in-life at a beautiful old church in downtown Montreal for a performance of Bach's sublime Brandenburg concertos. But, as the music began to resonate around us, my only thought was 'Dammit, the timing is off between the horns and the violins'.
I've been spoiled by regular visits to two of the best symphony orchestras in the world. So now it seems I want perfection every time.
Thankfully I got over myself by the time we got to the second concerto, and enjoyed listening to some wonderful musicians playing these glorious (and difficult) pieces.
