Has anyone experienced the Elbphilharmonie hall yet?

Quasi-hebetudinous politically insolvent musings broadcast for attention

 

I forgot to post this full replay of the opening concert earlier. For the thoughtfully behaved and mutually interested parties who can appreciate my disdain at how well hidden the "ignore user" setting is hidden.

The BBC has an old article about Music Halls which in my opinion still make sense today:

 

Tonal quality in concert halls - C.L.S. Gilford, T. Somerville; Report 1963-52 Jan 1963

Probably, but isn't west Europe paying for america's failing foreign policies? Iraq comes to mind, Isis too

I'm spanish (so, european).

 

My point of view, as an european, is that western Europe has been relying for too long on USA deffense and doing almost nothing by its own. We europeans are not paying american mistakes, but the lack of investment in our own security, letting it always under the comfortable and cheap (for us) american war system "umbrella".

 

Since the fall of the Wall, things had changing a lot, and every one must understand that could be no more comfortable "umbrella" at all, and assume his own.part of the common effort in deffending not (as näive people use to say) the "american way of life" but the western civilized way to live. (All that said, it seems to me we're touching points quite appart from the new NDR SO Concert Hall).

America got 99 problems but Western Europe isn't one of them

Don't agree with you on that.

Well, I don't expect that everyone accepts my opinions.

So, I finally made it there. Here's my review of the concert I saw there last Sunday, including some pictures.

 

And yes, the acoustics are impressive.
