I attended a piano recital at the Philharmonie in the large hall which was completely sold out. Wonderful atmosphere, excellent staff to direct you through the maze of corridors and staircases. Despite sitting very far away from the platform, the wonderful acoustic and raked seating provided a memorable experience.

Astonishing acoustics and one of the most enthusiastic audiences ever experienced at a classical concert. If you can, go before Rattle moved on

We planned well and got a pair of tickets to a concert by buying on-line as soon as the tickets went on sale. What a wonderful concert - the orchestra was fabulous and the acoustics in the hall perfect. Try very hard to do this - you won't be dissapointed.
