I've put up the recordings for String Serenade, and the Bach double concerto. The first movement [the one we're playing] is 04, but I've put up the second and third movements as well [05 and 06] for anybody who's interested in them.

Please go download and listen to them! The standard of the string serenade is what everybody should be aiming for, [Like for eg, the cello solo -ahem- :D ] apart from the place where violin2s take over the semiquavers from violin1s. Go listen. You'll get what I mean.

And the Bach. There is energy; it is vivacious, yes? And yes the soloist is damn imba cos she's HILARY HAHN. If you don't know who Hilary Hahn is you deserve a knock on the head.

Gogogo! We have about 5 more weeks only! Jiayou! SNSO is capable of a much higher standard than what it is now, if only everybody plays their part (:

Oh and you might want to go listen to The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba too. It's something that I think should be tried one day, post-Jubilate :D [there's a score for just string orchestra - without harpsichord and oboes]
