Cleveland Orchestra Debussy 2006

Cleveland Concert

Don't have many stories from Cleveland, except I finally got to meet Matthias Pintscher, the composer and conductor. He's very dynamic and much more down-to-earth than I expected him. VERY talented, too. It was a very interesting concert, with one of his pieces, then Debussy's Martyr de St. Sebastien. Both biblical pieces, but so starkly different. And it was a brilliant stroke to do the Debussy as a suite, and cut out all the dialogue. Hopefully one of these days, he'll write a piece for ME!
