Musiksommer 2018: Konzert-Eröffnung MDR – Ein unvergesslicher Abend!
Hey Musik-Fans! Let's talk about the MDR Musiksommer 2018 opening concert – wow, what a night! I still get goosebumps thinking about it. Seriously, it was amazing. I mean, I’m not usually one for classical music – I’m more of a "guilty pleasure pop" kind of guy, you know? But this… this was different.
My Initial Hesitations (and Why You Shouldn't Let Them Stop You!)
Initially, I was kinda hesitant. Classical music? Felt a bit stuffy, you know? Like a tuxedo-wearing, champagne-sipping kinda affair. Not exactly my scene. Plus, I'd heard whispers – "oh, it's long," "oh, it's boring," blah, blah, blah. Total negativity bias, I guess. I almost didn't go. Almost.
But then I thought, "Hey, it's the MDR! They usually put on a great show." And boy, was I right! This wasn't your grandma's stuffy concert.
The Atmosphere: Electric!
The atmosphere was incredible. The energy was palpable, even before the music started. People were buzzing, dressed to the nines, some in jeans and t-shirts – it was a really cool mix. The venue itself – I can’t remember the exact location now, facepalm – was stunning. It felt grand, but not intimidating. There was a real sense of anticipation, which really added to the experience. It was a perfect blend of sophisticated and relaxed.
The Music: A Symphony of Emotions
The program itself was a masterclass in variety. I was blown away by the range of emotions – from soaring highs to quiet, reflective moments. There was this one piece, I think it was by Mozart – I’m so bad with names, sorry! – that just completely transported me. I felt like I was floating. Seriously, I almost cried. It was that powerful. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's true. And that's the thing about live music, right? It connects with you on a whole other level.
And the orchestra! The MDR Symphonieorchester is phenomenal. Every musician was clearly incredibly talented, and their passion was infectious. You could feel the energy pouring from them into the audience.
