RE: A note from Magnepan

OTOH, one of my worst concert experiences was in the front center row at Carnegie Hall, with Von Karajan conducting the ninth. The chorus was frying my ears! They were literally distorting (a very loud female chorus sometimes does that to me) and painful. Hard to imagine what it would have been like on the podium!

But that's a one off. I've heard conductor say they wish the audience could hear what they do from the podium, and I can believe them.

I'truth, I think my main objection to concerts is that they insist on programming stuff I don't much like. I don't see why every concert has to be a smorgasbord. It's particularly problematic when they program some awful 20th century piece that nobody would listen to if they had a choice.
