Royal Festival Hall
London, England

"What I heard...during an Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment rehearsal was a clean, rich sound, evenly distributed around the ship-shaped room without any of the Bermuda Triangles of former times, when sections of orchestra went missing from certain areas...I was struck by the immediacy of the noise, the instant translation of gesture into music. Now, a pizzicato cracks like a whip, no longer like a bank clerk shuffling tenners. In every part of the hall, the listener feels closer to the action...the new clarity adds bloom to gut strings and tin horns and musicians feel better about themselves than this place ever let them feel before."
