My EW friends,
Let me suggest you something: if Sarah Brightman happens to give a concert near your town PLEASE GO !!!
Before the concert, I was wondering if she would bring a small orchestra, or if she would just bring the band, and play the orchestra using recorded tracks.
Well, I arrived at the theatre, and I saw the red chairs placed on the stage where the orchestra would sit. And I went "Ok, calm down, you are about to witness something big".
Believe me! THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST AND MOST PERFECT CONCERT I've ever been to.
30 live musicians on stage. Yes, THIRTY !!!
The crew was like this:
16 musicians for violins, contrabass, etc.
7 singers for the chorus
1 drummer
1 guitarist
1 bass player
1 guitarist / mandoline / tin whistle
1 percussionist (with all the percussion instruments you can imagine)
2 keyboard players (one of them was the musical director, conducting the orchestra when the drums were not playing).
2 guest tenors
And of course...Sarah Brightman; beautiful and with a flawless voice. So perfect, she can sing Nessun Dorma 10 times in a row and the 10th time will be as perfect as the 1st one.
Just wanted to share with you what was to me one of the best moments in my life musically speaking.
Take care.
