The Cologne Music Triennale: Richard Strauss / Einojuhani Rautavaara (Video)

Well fellows, after the holidays' break let's start our 2009 concerts season with a great post. And there's no better way to start it than posting a Concert Video. It's my intention to post a Concert Video on every first monday of the month. The video is a DVD rip in full, with all menus, extras, etc kept, with no compression (if we could do an analogy, something like a lossless file for video). But be prepared, because there are a great number of files to be downloaded. But I think it's worthy. Happy New Year and enjoy the concert.

Well fellows, another year is gone. Good things happened, bad things happened, as usual. What matters is that we're all here to celebrate this important date. To all of you my best wishes of a Merry Christmas and a new year full of hope that many good things will happen along it.
I'm gonna take a break for a couple weeks and hope to return on January 5th.
Enjoy these holidays, take care and see you next year.

The Concert Hall Is Open

After a long hiatus The Concert Hall is open again. It's my intention to post on Mondays and Thursdays but in case of unavailability at least one of these days will have a post.
