Thanks all!
The concert last night went very well. The musicians of the "Nordic Music Academy" did a splendid job - the string orchestra had a wonderful tone and I'm impressed by the high standard. Nikolaj has done absolute magic with them, and it was a very fine debut for him as a conductor. The way he motivated all the musicians - who are dedicated young students - to give their very best, creating a homogeneous and beautiful sound, was extraordinary. The orchestral tone was on level with the best of orchestras anywhere.
Unfortunately the "organ" slightly dragged down the otherwise high level of quality. I put "organ" in quotation marks because it was really just an electric piano using a pipe organ sound and small build-in speakers. The sampled "organ-sound" wasn't all that bad, but it was nevertheless quite clear that it wasn't a real organ and the lack of external amplifiers and speakers possibly amplified (no pun
) the sense of that, especially because the volume had to be turned all the way up and the lack of "body" and richness in the tone.
With that said, I still think the concert overall was very good, and judging from the response so did the audience (of approx. 1000 people)
