I went to a very interesting in
Rovaniemi of Laplands chamber orchestra. It took place in a new
concert hall which is very nice and modern. As a visiting star there
was “Piers Adams” who is a recorder virtuoso. I usually don't
really enjoy the recorder but he was more like a rockstar than an
orchestra member. He was wearing leather pants and like bright
colored shirt. He played on many different recorders: from a very
tiny one with a very high pitched sound to a big one with a very deep
sound. All in all they played 5 pieces and one of them was his solo.
My favourite piece was the third one: Vetrarmyndir (Winter
Pictures-1990) by Sunleif Rasmussen (born in 1961). It was very
fairytale like and it was very powerful even if it wasn't vey loud as
a piece. It builds up slowly and I think the title fits the piece
very well. It describes a wintery landscape which reminded me of the
first Narnia. I'm usually not that into classical concerts so my
expectations weren't very high, but in the end the concert was very
good.
