Mattias IA Eklundh has posted a summer update covering recent events from late spring and early summer:
First of all I am still trying to get the stupid smile of my face from the Beethoven Triple Concerto performance in Västerås 14th of June. I had such a wonderful time and learned so much from both rehearsals and the actual gig. The sound from the orchestra on a huge stage, orchestrated and mixed well, is breathtaking in all its richness and texture. That Ludwig guy knew what he was doing, deaf and all. (It took me a while to see the brilliant architecture of the piece. You have to live with it for some time). I had goose bumps through the entire piece...I was a quickie in Milan to play on Guitar Day together with Paul Gilbert and several splendid Italian players recently. (Someone got photos? Send them in). A fine event. Might be back next year. Thanks a lot for your awesome support during my show, Italian friends! (Special thanks to Guglielmo Malusardi for harassing me with e-mail until I replied and agreed to come). Guitar Day was the day before the first Beethoven rehearsal in Sweden
