tonight i attended a performance of the trans-siberian orchestra here in zürich, where they played their 2000 album beethoven’s last night in its entirely, and some more songs, among them one of my favorites, grieg’s hall of the mountain king. it was an awesome show, really worth its money. i’m still surprised that i didn’t heard about this band before… i took a few pics with my mobile phone; the quality sucks, but you can get an idea of how it looked like:
interestingly, there are already the first recordings online on youtube:
