Looks like the babe organist is included with the hall too! [nt] ;-), posted on January 14, 2017 at 12:58:05

re Carnegie changes
Sorry, I like the renovated hall better, at least after they removed the concrete slab under the stage. It has far better balance than before. The only thing the "new" hall doesn't do is absorb any orchestral volume. Before, orchestras could give it their all, and the hall absorbed the sound in a warm cushiness. Now, they can play too loud for the hall... so... don't do that. Having been there dozens of times before the renovation, and hundreds of times since, I wouldn't go back to the old hall for anything. YMMV.

I've been to the Disney and it is up there with Symphony Hall, Concertgebouw and Berliner Philharmonie for the halls that I have visited. Hamburg, will have to check it out although I seem to spend less time visiting Europe versus Asia these days.
