RE: Sure there is

great and did the symphony at the concert hall sound just like the wife playing the baby grand at home?

Just like, no. Could I tell that each was playing a live, unamplified instrument in space, yes.

Again, there is no such thing as "**THE** live experience."

Any facsimile of a live experience works for me.

Did he limit his qualifiers to good halls?

Return to the quote. Operative word being "should". I attended many a concert at the ASO where we sat in his good friend JWC's favorite spot in the loge. HP preferred other halls and for that matter, orchestra seating, but still enjoyed the experience. I think you'll find a number of very nice Telarc recordings made in that space under Shaw, Lane and Spano. I played a small role in one.

No two halls sound the same.

No disagreement there. But misses the point HP was making.
