I love box seats. We went to a Murray Pariah recital this week and our seats were directly behind him, and looking almost straight down on him. We could see his hands move along the keys perfectly. I thought we had the best seats in the house but my wife said they were among the least expensive becuase she was slow buying tickets. Maybe it's because old folks are scared of those seats, and the median age at symphonies is pretty high. Myself I'm afraid of heights and get a little quesy close to the rail. I once saw a guy tumble over a railing from the upper deck at Riverfront trying to catch a fly baseball. The others surging to get the ball pushed him right over it. He grabbed onto the railing and they at least were good enough to pull him back over. It was scary.

Screw the box seats. You saw Murray Pariah? I am forever jealous. Did he play the Second Movement of Beethoven's Third Concerto? If any here have not seen him perform you must open this link:

I need details quick - program, venue, orchestra, etc. and I NEED IT NOW.

I've seen Murray Pariah three times. Two recitals and once with St. Martin in the Fields.

Renaissance man extraordinaire are you. The Seattle Symphony offerings are impressive. Did you attend the Mozart Requiem?

I have bought tickets twice and had to give them away because of conflicts that arose. They do it every year and I will go next year by God.

Next time you have tickets you can't use, I would REALLY appreciate a heads up...

I don't follow classical music, but when I was in college my girlfriend's little brother was a child prodigy as a pianist. He was 14 at the time and had already placed in several international piano competitions. I've always wondered if he ever made a name for himself. His name is Kevin Kenner. He used to idolize Arthur Rubenstein, and said that's who he wanted to be when he grew up. Did Kevin ever make a dent in the music world?
