RE: The curse of the "Fabulous Philadelphia Sound?' When will it end?
Posted by Todd Krieger on February 2, 2021 at 14:51:15:
Wasn't that "Philadelphia string sound" as much a product of the old Academy of Music? (I attended several concerts there, and loved the acoustics.) I always thought "string sound" was mostly a function of the hall and the balance between the sections..... Unless Philly had a higher percentage of Strads, Amatis, Guarneris, etc., relative to other orchestras.......
