Definitely worth a visit, especially a concert there… 🙏🏻

I was there and it was really amazing!! and honestly it is not that expensive. i got in for 30 euros.

@@tammobrinner4823 Well, Yuya Wang and the San Francisco Smyphony Orchestra would be definitely worth a visit on March 16, 2023. But tickets go up to 171,60€.

The whole city around there is beautiful. The view from the Café at the concert hall is amazing.

Especially with the 50% discount, tickets for ~10€ are not that hard to find if you (I) buy the tickets early on (II) it's not a world class soloist playing.

Oh hello Rick :-D

KZfaqrs like you, Nahre Sol and Adam Neely are amazing for sharing so many valuable insights with millions of music lovers+creators 👏👏👏🙂

and so is your channel 🙂

Rick you Rick Super secret band thanks you 🙏🙏🙏

And the music you produced was amazing!

Replying 9 months later to your comment, & personally relying upon merely recorded sound from the Elbphil hall, I listened to a concert posted to KZfaq by the Elbphil's management. They presumably used first-rate equipment. In spite of all of today's modern science, my sense is the far older hall in Vienna & the newer one from the 1960s in Berlin still have more aural quality. The one from the 1880s in Amsterdam, however, seems a bit closer to the sound in Hamburg's hall. The revamped hall in NYC, opened last yr, is kind of middling too. Good acoustics is a very complicated science. Also, a bit subjective

times a million-ish. The world has Science Communicators to bring science to the masses to excite the minds of like minded people. (I guess it's a resonance thing.) But the world also needs Music Communicators. And Art Communicators. And Peace Communicators. And Love Communicators. sorry got carried away there for a sec.

She was part of a PBS series for a while, and then she wasn't and I never found out why. I gradually lost interest in the series after that.

@@mal2ksc yes with the drummer dude that was and still is so cool. My guess is she wanted to work more for herself and less for PBS. And that's cool. Peace.

@Konstantin Ridaya I just meant she's right for the job, if she wanted that job. Underestimating jobs or being an employee will become a luxury when the recession hits, my friend.

@@danfg7215 : She would just end-up being formatted to do the kind of weak and tasteless things TV wants to push between commercials for the most people to watch those. I would say that's it's almost an insult to some good youtuber to bow down to the level of what TV propose.

That Sounds a little funny :D

Buy a ticket.

not only that, the atmosphere of even "simple" halls and cheap school auditoriums completely change the way that sound feels. Being in my school's wind band has allowed me to perform at many locations and each of them have a different texture and how the sound feels. The most memorable for me was the Arcadia Performing Arts Center in Arcadia, California. While the Walt Disney Concert hall was certainly grander and many other "professional" halls were also amazing, the experience of performing on a stage with the sound that normally disappears, but as soon as you enter, becomes the entire atmosphere is not only amazing but also humbling. You feel as if this moment in time, it is only this performance, yourself, and your pure emotions.

Inconceivable??! Sure, if with Bruckner all you can hear is brass overpowering strings to a point where all you hear is brass. Great acoustics, really! Not!

@@liloruf2838 that's not the acoustic design of the room, thats the players not knowing how to control their dynamics.

@@goldenoodles6281 This is true for people in wind bands, symphony orchestras, smaller ensembles such as chamber orchestras (no heavy brass or saxes) and chamber music ensembles, such as woodwind quartets, wind quintets (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, French horn) and string quartets and string trios... You and the music you make with your sounds become the hall or church or theatre. Every time you play, every time you perform for an audience, it is one of our lives' magical experiences... every time, it repays the hours of practice with your instrument.

Thank you so much!!

You might be interested in a couple of chapters from Christopher Small‘s “Musicking” if you don’t already know it.

i seriously love your comment, thank you so much for taking your time to make it.

The Elbphilharmonie and the amphitheater might've both been designed for the same goal, but the types of performances that each were designed for are quite different: concert halls are designed to handle a large amount of heterogeneous instruments and singers, which means that they have to be really careful when dealing with reverb; the Greeks designed their theater halls mainly to project just one speaker or performer at a time (or a group that's performing all the same thing), they are more focused on pure projection, not sure the two can really be compared. Buildings like the Elbphilharmonie (and for that matter, Greek amphitheaters) are maximalist and extravagant, and I agree with you in that there is something off about directing public funds into a project that is going to charge a high ticket price (and thus not really a public good). But, I would say that is an oversimplification to say that that good acoustic design _necessarily_ means money bombs or exploitation. (Also, I don't know the expected life on the construction materials but I would _hope_ for ~900 million Euro you get the good concrete and not the 30-year stuff).

@@jared_bowden it definitely depends on the type of concrete but seriously most concrete lasts about 30 years.

Thank you!!

@Soulful Notes I checked it, there are some nice things 🙏🏻🌞

Hey Marcel, nice to see you here, and to see that you’re a fan of Nahre as well. Maybe we should organise a trip to Hamburg for our little group of Twitter friends! I would love to see this building and attend a concert!

I trust the acoustics are great as described. One small compromise by a visual judgement, having sort of open space around the orchestra, namely behind the double bass strings, the acoustics will lack some warmth. That is my experience from Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Did you find that to be the case at Elbphilharmonie as well?

Who wants to hear me play Chopin ? 😂

@@NahreSol Everybody does!

I come from a music loving family, love to hear classical music and play violin myself. And I absolutely understand what you mean by alienating. The display of wealth and opulence and the promotion of climate destroying global cultural tourism is often nauseating.
