Ok so i went to watch Li Yundi's concert..

BIG DEAL...

in fact i consider myself unlucky to even get to watch him play live together with SSO...

Bought $103 ticket, was counting down everyday... then on the day itself this happens..

First Half : Rustic Wedding Symphony by Goldmark.

IT was SO BORING that i dozed off 5 times.. and let me tell you people it wasnt just me.. even Lixian and Qinkai dozed off a number of times.. so yeah that pretty much summarizes the first half of the concert..

Second Half : Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1

EPIC FAIL!! ... OH MY GOD!!!
Flautists and Horns were out of tune, Strings sounded as though their bows were lacking rosin, SSO was dragging the music and holding Li Yundi back.. and Li Yundi in turn was attitude-ing..
And in the end..there was no standing ovation... i think this must be the first time in many many years for Li Yundi that he hasn't gotten a standing ovation.. but oh well...

All i can say is that SSO needs to buck up.. and if Singapore really wants to have superstars like Li Yundi performing here ever again first they have to set up a decent orchestra to accompany them!

Gah still can't believe this happened....

Would rather have paid $103 to go for a GECO rehearsal LOL!!
