I watched a piano quartet concert in Atlanta a moth ago and I would say that it was a very awesome experience. It was held in a big dome and almost all seats were taken. Four famous pianists made a rendition of all-time favorite classic music as well as pop songs, which perhaps were undertaken in order to suit the taste of different audiences. The quartet was made up of two men and two women, and there were two grand pianos erected onstage used for the performances. The men wore black tuxedos, while the women wore cocktail clothes. The one was in velvet red while the other one was in silk blue. They all looked refreshing.
The concert started with a powerful rendition of Love Story (Where Do I Begin) The masterful streaks that each pianist did on the piece made it so amazing. The quartet was supported by a violin and a saxophone on the background, which contributed in making the sound more engaging and fascinating. They followed it with The Entertainer, which was really a very entertaining performance. The classic O Comme Amour gave out a likewise enthralling appeal, making the entire performance a good deal of experience for the audience. The quartet always received a standing ovation from the crowd, of which most are in their middle age and senior years. It was surprising to see some young people in the crowd as well, who appreciate this kind of music despite their generation. It was amazing to know that my favorite singer, Celine Dion, was there to render a song number while the piano quartet performed. There was also another piece played by two of the four pianists - one woman and a man - while the other two sang in a duet. This piano quartet is a modification of the classic one, made to fit the different audiences in today's post-modern world.
I like their classic rendition of Song for Anna, Ballad Pour Adeline, and the piece that thrilled me most, I Got a Crush on You originally sang by Frank Sinatra but is oozing in that frenzied night as the air suddenly shifted into a romantic mood. The allure was sustained by another performance of an instrumental I'm in the Mood for Love and Fascination, followed by Someone to Watch Over Me, which the four sang in blended voices as they tinkered on the black and white keys of the grand pianos.
This event night is one of the memorable ones I witnessed, in which the artists' skills were exhibited in total fashion. I have never been as enthralled as I have been in this piano quartet event.
I would relate my experience with the piano quartet concert with my father, a humorous but a serious person, fun loving and genuine, loving and wise. The piano concert, which had been a mixture of classic and new music, of old and mainstream songs, which are in total opposite yet jive together in one amazing performance, is just like him. My father is one whom you would like to be always around, and his mere presence is enough to invigorate you. His fun and positive energy uplifts a lonely soul. I believe he just really has these innate characteristics to uplift people in their lowest point. Just like the symphonies performed by the piano quartet, which have the ability to soothe the audience and take them into the journey of their music.
I admire my father so much because of the combination of ...Download file to see next pagesRead More
