Fresh New Season, con el agobio de siempre

Finally I have consumed my last two recital nights here, 3 min. walking to the Palau (Friday, Sokolov) and 7 min. to the Auditori (Wednesday, Tharaud). I still have four or five concerts to enjoy before September, but none of them will be in Barcelona.

Perhaps next season I will move - to live between two work places instead of between two concert halls. Anyway, as a mileurista who is not music student or professional, not unemployed, not disabled, NOT YOUNG ANY MORE and still with many years left before giving up with this life... now it is time to have to think of the word "BUDGET", AND vacations, AND travels, AND so on...

I think I will try to go less from now, unless with interpreters I'm really interested in - the acoustics and audience there are REALLY DISAPPOINTING.

Ugly building, but functional and professional halls, better audience - neither very quiet but more or less acceptable.

MIENTRAS TANTO, de cuando en cuando es muy frustrante enfrentar una realidad como ésta:

Of course, neither am I optimist about how the situation would be if Catalonia were independent from Spain, but at least, not so unbalanced like now in compare to what Madrid always receives...
