The best concert I've had

In my life I went to some concert halls to listen classical music. Concerts of Santiago’s Philharmonic Orchestra, National Symphonic Orchestra or Usach’s Classical Orchestra. Concerts, opera, ballet or piano’s functions. Although, one interpretation impressed me. 

Three months ago, my very best concert experience thus far was seeing Gustav Holst’s interpretation of his piece “The planets”, at the Santiago’s Municipal Theater. Holst was an English romantic and neoclassical composer, with Germanic origins, whose work “The planets” is very interesting because was based in his own horoscope and explores the oriental mysticism.

As in any concert of classical music, the piece was executed in absolutely silence. The theater was dark, except for a few lights for the orchestra and the above permitted to the audience can involve into the composition, into their emotional charge. I experimented that. I’m not enjoyed this concert. I think that purpose wasn’t enjoy. The composition has seven movements, one for each planet. I understood more clearly and felt the sense, ideas and god of each planet, even if he saw that the piece hasn’t relation with mythological gods.
