Thinking about the things happend in the last few weeks I realized how difficult to resume them.Well, lets try!I worked a lot.Had concerts with my girls/ female choir/ with an unexpected succes. Although we won a price in 2007 I had to start from the zero with them, becouse the staff is changing. You have to plan minimum for a year forward without to know nothing about skills of the new singers will come. It is exciting but a bit like a jump in the dark. One thing was sure, I had to change the repertoire opening towards the popular music.We, hungarian, call the poplular music as "könnyű zene", Light or simple music, but from he point of wiew of the performer it is not simple, ore light. For example you see a movie like Saint Trinians /this movie is a comedy about a very strange girl's school, and in his own is a shit/ with a very attractive title music.If you try to perform the song with your even very best staff you notice that they have not the suitable voice quality and they are lack of the flexible and improvisativ way of pop or jazz singing. You can sugest them to hear more similar music, but they are doing that continously caring not about the artisitic questions. It remains one chance, you have to show them, sing for, what to do.And you realize, that you are not a Freddy Mercury and Celine Dion either. And there is another problem.Rehearsing the songs I said, girls you have to charm your audience, ,convict them, you are the most misterious and charming women in the world. They did not understand. I hear them talking about their boyfriends and sexuality very open or even thoroughly, but somehow they can't reproduce that in their singing and scenic behavior. Thats why I was so surprized that the last concert was frenetic, beside the classical choir song all the popular arrangements was excelent. I think,we did a big step forward.
Well, I must not forget to talk about my last reading experience. As a birthday present I got a book of Isabel Allende in spanish version.Since I have been returning from Mexico I am crazy for Latin-America. I started again to refresh my spanish, read blogs and books. The first one I red was Amor en el tiempo de colera of Marquez, and I have just finished De amor y de sombra by Isabel Allende.Uhhhh!As child I heard about the tragical events happened in Chile during the time of Pinochet. Hungary as a part of the soviet block expressed his solidarity and opened the doors for refugies. Reading blogs of different latin-american authors I faced again the problem of military dictaturas of the 70. For instant an argentinian wrote, her grandparents and an uncle desappaired, probably asassinated during few days. And I got this book de Allende. Here in Hungary we had also a difficult time in 1944 and than between 1948 and 1956. But the brutality and cruelty that Isabel Allende talking about shocked me entirelly. I enjoyed very much her style of writing but it could not be a shadowless enjoy becouse of the thema. I decided to try to ask my friends from latin-america their opinion and his personal experiences. Most Fancy whoes blog I follow but only yesterday have discovered, that she is chilena. I hope I can visit Buenos Aires next year, I am looking foreward very much.
