From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

RE: "plywood walls"

Whenever I sat higher up in the balcony at Severance Hall (most concerts I attended were up there), I often focused on seats that were unoccupied during the concert prior to intermission. (Especially if there were multiple pieces prior to intermission, in which late patrons assume their seats between pieces.) I then moved down for the rest of the concert. Rarely had an "incident" where I ended up taking someone's seat.

Whenever I moved down, I often pretended to be listening to the "world's best stereo system".......... The lower balcony was indeed the best location to listen to a concert at Severance Hall. (I still remember how John Mack would "crow" his oboe reed as the musicians prepared prior to the concert and during intermission. And clarinetist Franklin Cohen playing the "Mahler One cuckoo" in which he once mis-timed during a performance.)
