the film is better than the actual performance.
It was a huge let down because this was my first live 9th. Even my friend who was with me and has heard the performance many times over said it was not the best.
Soprano's vocals were completely lost from where we were sitting. Tenor and bass did all right and no problem reaching.
Last week, another friend who wasn't there at the concert sent me the same YouTube link asking me if it was as bad as the YouTube video. :/
But then again, I don't care for Kurt Masur's style ( or lack of ) either.
