Writing this as I’m standing behind the piano at the Activity Room. It’s Tuesday’s practice. The group is running through Handel’s Concerto last movement. I can vividly understand why Hiong Gai Gai would walk out of the DT in despair of the soloist’s performance. The solo was rather raw I must say, with little regard for the orchestra coherence. Notes go haywire at times, some wrong, some out of tempo. There was even a passage Daren was counting for him(or for the orchestra???)!!!
Spectacularly weird.

it is darn difficult to 'conduct' an orchestra when you are actually playing, not to mention as a soloist tackling a most demanding part of music.
having said that, i am pretty certain that if domy had actually put in effort to practice his solo part at home, things would have been significantly better. Afterall, with his technical skills and knowledge of baroque, he is certainly the best we have in genus to play the part.
for genus's sake (hmm. and for the audience's sake as well), i do hope he realises he's not John Williams, and seriously put into some hours into the solo..
