Sir Simon Rattle’s Last Performance in Tokyo…?

Berlin Phil and Sir Simon Rattle will come to the Suntory Hall, a concert hall five minutes’ walk from my place, next week. Oh my God…I should have paid enough attention to their schedule.

Apparently they’ll play Beethoven pieces only. Of these, symphony No. 5 is the best for me, but I would rather listen to Brahms symphony No. 2 in this nice season.

Since I got a pair of amazing speakers DALI Helicon MK2, they convinced me to stay home to appreciate their sophistication, rather than wasting money for average orchestras.

Berlin Phil is certainly not in such a category at all, and this would be the last chance to see Rattle-conducted Berlin Phil in Tokyo, as he has decided to go back to the UK for a new concert hall in London. (That is exciting per se.)

Not surprisingly, all tickets are all sold out. Well, I will use my imagination when I was very lucky to see their performances in Berlin, London and Tokyo...
