But we did dine and were in our seats at Carnegie Hall for the sold-out-all-week concert. The Berliner Philharmoniker, Sir Simon Rattle conducting, is doing all the Beethoven Symphonies, tonight we hear No. 1 in C Major and No. 3 in E-flat Major, Eroica, the only tickets we could get.
The NYT criticized them for not introducing new music in these programs, but the week’s worth of sold out performances must please the orchestra and hall. Obviously the ticket buyers are happy with the offering.
The seats we barely managed to get were in the balcony, the fifth and highest level of beautiful Carnegie Hall. The acoustics are the best in town. Needless to say the concert was great. The trip home was a breeze.
Carnegie Hall from the balcony, It's BYO supplemental oxygen.
