It’s been awhile since we went to the TSO, half of the reason is because it’s not that convenient for us to go, but it was always because there wasn’t much interesting that I wanted to hear (well there was one concert which was interesting, but it was over the May 2-4 long weekend).

We went this Saturday to hear Chopin’s 2^nd Piano Concerto. It was performed by Argentinian Ingrid Fliter.

The concerto was bookended by Mahler’s first Symphony (“Titan”). The full symphony was played after the intermission, but the concert was started by Blumine which was actually the original second movement of the then five movement symphony. But Mahler decided that it wasn’t “symphonic” enough and removed it from the Symphony.
