wtf, i’m amazed that you’ve never heard of rusnak before. he’s becoming like the new horowitz
ah i lay the blame of that on my geography - we hardly get good stuff here in singapore. its all shit and 90% of piano players worship jay chou.
dude, you at least get to see concerts, I know that big name pianists play in S’pore. They don’t in my country
i only managed to watch kenneth hamilton and angela hewitt recently; most concerts are priced too far out of the average music student’s reach. the last big name that came was vladimir feltsman (but im whining lol)
u get kizzin once a year right
since when!? not true!
yeah, so true!!!
best one (and only one) i can recall is hamelin who played at melb uni…
the last time berezovsky came i was still a peon who hardly knew about this sheeyat and now I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED IT
da dong will soon visit u mofoz there. he will go everywhere.
has already left the building.
I have a huge gripe against the selection of “international artistes” the Singapore Symphony Orchestra picked for their yearly roster of so-called “Gala Concerts”.
Why, one wonders, is tickets to Emanuel Ax’s Chopin F-minor PC more expensive than Yefim Bronfman’s Brahms 2?
Why is Vlad Feltsman playing year after year?
Why is there another Rach 3 again?
And why is Hamelin playing Mendy 1? For fuck’s sakes, man…
WHY???

Rach 3
Maybe, maybe not. Will bootleg just for you mofos if I’m not emo that night
I like the Mendy 1, just not yeah?
um, no. this yr we have Ax, katsaris, Bronfman. Ax is playing right in the middle of finals so I can’t go, And kat is only playing in Brisbane which might as well be another country it’s so far away. Australia is a cultural backwater, especially musically.
lol i heard Kizzin alwayz go to Zydney
Auztralia pozz not a place i want to go/live
You’d probably love it actually. It’s certainly a great place to visit. I have a love/hate thing going on at the moment, but if I moved overseas I’d probably miss it heaps. But musically it’s very limited, even da NZ gets more top pianists performing there. :zepp:

tru da AUZ orchz nevah invite moi
Who is Da Whale?
also, yeah ive noticed feltsman plays almost every year. the gala artistes thing is mostly a joke, any serious musician will tell you Singapore is not the place to go for success in arts.
