Classical Mood - with feeling!
On 10 May I went to a concert at the Sava Centre by the London Symphony Orchestra, under their Russian principal conductor, Valerij Gergijev. The programme was entirely of Russian music, Rachmaninov and Prokoviev - dramatic pieces, played with tremendous confidence and vigour.
The orchestra's visit to Belgrade was the first night of a 'five day, five city' tour, taking in also Zagreb, Budapest, Vilnius and Tallinn. The audience responded with great enthusiasm. It was wonderful to see an orchestra of this top world quality in Belgrade - a sign that, in yet another way, Serbia is now firmly 'back on the map'.
