In the Thread: The sound of Concert Halls
Post Subject: My Boston Symphony Hall sucksPosted by Romy the Cat on: 2/5/2008
I really do not know why there is so mach publicity and so much noise around Boston Symphony Hall as some kind of acoustic wonder of the world. I am unfortunately frequently in the Boston Symphony Hall and I do not like the sound of this Hall. It is true that it is much better than other American concert hall; but itself it is very far from what I think it should be. Perhaps the Boston Symphony Hall had better sound in past and then was destroyed during the renovations (as many other Concert Halls were) but I arrived in Boston in 1996 and it was not good alredy. Back in the city of my birth we had Odessa Opera House and as I remember it had acoustic properties that Boston Symphony Hall can not even dream about. It was very “live” and it has that acoustic effect of “mount vision” when you at high altitude can see 20 miles away and feel that it is I right next to you. It was a wonderful sounding Hall…
