Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra does Nyman

I'm still stunned that regular human beings, who somehow aren't super famous, can get on a stage and make such perfect sounds together. Without amplifiers screwing up the sound. 

This was at a BPO concert at the Dome. A two parter, with a trumpet concerto in part one. I don't count myself as a fan of the trumpet, but you can't help loving the skill and sounds.  

Part two was Michael Nyman's work. We sat right under the violas, which is perhaps like having the balance turned all the way to the left. But I didn't notice, and for the kinds of music Nyman does, with the repetition, it was mesmerising to watch them play.

I also learned that Nyman's work is modern Purcell:

I need to dump a few podcasts and listen to more music.
