In the middle of September I was listening to the third movement of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, played my Vladimir Horowitz, on my iPod while doing math homework. It was pretty late at night and everyone’s lights were off so it was very quiet around me. I swear I heard voices in the audience in the middle of the recording saying things like, “Stop. Stop. Hey. Stop it.” It was like an older brother scolding a younger sibling. I think it was during a soft and pretty part of the piece and the dialogue was so random that I just bursted out laughing. I replayed those few seconds over and over to make sure that I actually heard it in the music and I did! I forgot where exactly in the recording I heard it though. If I ever find the exact minute/second in the recording, I’ll post the it and let you know.
