It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Mahler + Solti

The opinions of the acoustics of Orchestra Hall appear to be all over the map.

I recall someone telling me during the Reiner era, it was one of the best halls in the world. He said the renovations destroyed the hall's acoustics, and they haven't been able to get it back.

I recall another person in recent time telling me he'd rather watch concerts at the maligned Avery Fisher Hall in New York.

A few others told me there was no other hall where the sound varied so much with seating. (One told me he moved about five rows closer after the intermission, and thought where he was originally seated was much better.) One of them claimed the best seats in the place were the top balcony, which is high above the stage. (People who have been there tell me the top balcony is higher up than any other hall they've been to.)
