The night's headliner, Olga Kern, dazzled us with her playing of Grieg's piano concerto and an encore piece by Moszkowski, but before she played, the orchestra started out with a short work: Glinka's overture from the opera Russlan and Ludmilla. It's such a delightful piece, and it seems to have stuck in my head more than anything else we heard that night. I've willingly added it to my list of favorite orchestral pieces. Here's the overture performed by the Berlin Philharmonic.

Symphony!
I was lucky to get to go and hear the Colorado Symphony last Saturday - thanks again, Aunt Cathy!
