Tonight should be an interesting time. The other day I decided to again take up the Oslo Philharmonic on its offer of cheap student tickets, so tonight I'll be seeing something by Brahms and Haydn at the Oslo Concert Hall.
This afternoon, during my regular checking-up of the internet, I had the good luck of noticing that Jonathan Richman was playing in Oslo tonight, and not Saturday as I had marked down in my calendar.
The result is that I will now be attending both performances in one evening, and will report with a full critical comparison of the two sometime tomorrow. I expect there to be at least a few obvious parallels between the classical styles of Haydn and the "widly eclectic rock and roll structures" of Richman.
Another expensive day in Oslo.
