I don’t see how any of you could have thought that your performance in Ottawa was anything less than spectacular. I was enthralled and thought it (truly!) one of the most satisfying and exciting performances I had ever heard of anything whatsoever.

I agree with Tim and Lucy. It is probably bad form to write negative comments about one’s own performances, but it is part of the reality of being a performer.

In retrospect, the concert was probably not as riddled with blatant errors as I thought at the time. The tricky thing about Pierrot in particular is that everything in the score is SO specific, it is easy to lose sight of the overall effect and drama which can survive even with missed notes and slightly botched entrances.

Lucy rocks, nobody does Pierrot like her. Period. Every performance we get with her is heaven-sent.

I thought it was a really wonderful performance as well - and you were fabulous as always, Lucy - but it is interesting how differently various members of the ensemble feel after concerts. I will write a blog post on that point!

I try to only write honest things on this blog. I omit comments which I feel are damaging (to us or someone else), but I think that the blog would be uninteresting if it is all rainbows and lollypops….

Can’t wait to work with you again!

sorry, but not a good idea to declare the negatives in print…..
