第一次听 NY Pops。上座率和 VPO、BPO 持平,气氛还算热烈。今天是纪念 Frank Sinatra 百年诞辰的音乐会,看在 Frank 的份上来的。可惜我喜欢的 Always,How Deep Is the Ocean 都没有在节目里。

四名歌手的表现有好有坏,DeSare 感觉就完全没对,缩手缩脚没放开,Large 和 Silverman 要好些,Moreno 居中吧。但他们最好的时候也远不及 Sinatra 之十一。这么说来,那些我喜欢的歌曲,估计唱了也不会有感觉。

NY Pops 的水准就交响乐团的标准来看只能算下游,弦乐基本没有音色可言,萨克斯和铜管的独奏还有点可听之处,只是有点。指挥 Reineke 会随着音乐舞动。All of Me 是由 DeSare 和 Moreno 演奏的四手联弹,爵士钢琴颇有点新意,这也是全场唯一给 DeSare 加分的段落。
