Intense
Rehearsal today, with Alastair Willlis, was intense - as it has been for the past few weeks that he has been with us. Playing Mahler’s 5th Symphony has been an immense stretch for the basses, as it is ten times as physically and intellectually demanding then any other piece we have played in the past. I know that the bass section, along with all of the others, have been practicing diligently so as to play the best we can for our concert on March 1st, which I know we are all eager to play.
