In Reply to: Gergiev and the LSO escape the Barbican on their latest recording posted by Chris from Lafayette on November 16, 2016 at 11:18:41:
It opened in the middle of downtown Newark, NJ in 1997, and sceptics said nobody would go.
Well, it's nearly always sold out. There is a large, nice-looking restaurant in the lobby, but I wouldn't know if the food is good there, I've never been able to get in.
Is it a good live recording venue? I guess I need to listen to the Gergiev, though I'm not a fan of his. It may be better than the Barbican, which is less than ideal based on what I've heard. But as the main hall seats 2,800, I doubt it's no. 1 in the world. Smaller is usually better.
I've never heard a better hall for live recordings than the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, which is much smaller.
