Since a year I have a subscription to this fantastic way to have amazing concerts in your living room! It was a surprise to me how I got attached and emotionally connected with the individual players just by not only watching the concerts but through all the interesting interviews with individual concert members. This gives the whole orchestra a really personal dimension over time.

So, here some videos about the digital concert hall but please, visit http://www.digitalconcerthall.com and give it a try. For 15 USD per month you have full access to the archives. Just fantastic!!!!

One of my favorites (Fauré: Pelléas et Mélisande)

Another all time favorite of mine (Stravinsky’s Firebird)

Wow: From me flows what you call time (Tōru Takemitsu) and some Shostakovich

Some background information about this initiative

Warm regards,
