After this last week with its various impressions, I'd like to thank
everyone involved in this tour- on and behind the stage. It took
everyone's efforts to make these days, in every way, a success. A lot
of things weren't perfect, it's true: not having something to eat
before a concert can be detrimental, but never detracted from the
professionalism of our work. Illnesses kept some of us in bed or near
a bathroom for a time, but Dr. Schäublin was always there when we
needed him. Jetlag and exhaustion which- since our schedule was very
tightly packed- sometimes caused moments of irritation, were put aside
as soon as we walked onto the stage.
It was great to be with a bunch of people who were willing to help
each other through a challenging time. Even the unknown person who
dissected and translated some of these blogs to send to the Basel
newspaper (without my knowledge) did so, I hope, in an effort to
promote the orchestra.
The last evening in Peking was spent with Herr Wu of Wu Promotions at
an unforgettably beautiful farewell dinner in a lovely "hutong" house
where we dined under a starry sky. These memories and more will keep
us singing "Jasmin Flower" for a long time to come.
So now, over the clouds somewhere near Omsk, I sign off. There's no
place like home.
