OMG, I'm still on a high from that epic marathon concert 
! It's so awesome to see how Alfred Brendel's legacy is still making waves in the classical music scene. The way Simon Rattle brought all those talented musicians together was pure magic 
. And can we talk about the Takács Quartet and Brendel's collaboration in Schubert's C major Quintet? 
It gave me all the feels, especially that slow movement... it's like they were speaking directly to my soul 
. The poetry segment with Harriet Walter was also a lovely touch - it added this whole new layer of depth to the music 
. And let's not forget the military band and those Marches to Fall Short of Victory by Mauricio Kagel... what a unique choice! 
It just goes to show how diverse Brendel's artistry is. All in all, I'm so grateful we got to experience this incredible celebration of his life and music

... i mean, Simon Rattle did an amazing job conducting all those talented musicians together 
... and having Harriet Walter reading Brendel's poems alongside Ligeti and Kurtág was like a breath of fresh air 
... but what really got me is how Brendel's music still evokes emotions even after his passing 
... it's like he left behind this incredible legacy that'll keep on touching people's lives for generations to come 
... anyway, i'm just glad we got to experience this special event and celebrate the life of a true artist legend 
i was gettin teary eyes during the slow movement of that schubert quintet it just felt so emotive & introspective u know? and then there wuz this poet lady Harriet Walter who read Brendels poems while ligeti & kurtag played in the background its like a whole other world they created 
i also loved how they incorporated dis military band playin marches to make it all feel more surreal lol & lewis's piano concerto was SO tense i felt every emotion he played
It's amazing how Brendel's music still evokes such strong emotions after all these years.
. And that military band playing those Marches to Fall Short of Victory? Totally surreal! 
. I mean, we lost him too soon in June, but this tribute is like, a beautiful reminder of the impact he had 
the energy in the room was palpable! 
the military band playing those marches to fall short of victory by mauricio kagel added this whole other layer to the evening
