Sound, Critique, Controversy: The Quartet of Critics in the White Hall

The voices of the critics sharpen the view of genre, style, and narrative dramaturgy of the interpretation. Nuances of phrasing, sound balance, tempo relations, and formal architecture become understandable – a gain for all who wish to deepen their concert perception.

The White Hall: Rococo as Resonance Space
