Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart...

Last night's concert in the Berlin Konzerthaus was enthusiastically received by the audience. Some German audience members commented to me on the warm, dark sound of the MSO strings, even suggesting the sound they created might be the envy of some of their own orchestras! After the high of the Paris concert, I feared there might be a plateau in the performance energy but the band once again put on a brilliant show, inspired by their surroundings and the reaction of the audience. The hall was absolutely gorgeous with paintings on the walls and ceiling plus marble busts of composers (Beethoven, Schubert and Mozart to name but a few) around the walls of the auditorium. One wonders what they might think of the MSO concert! If only they could talk...
