Thank the lab, there are great amps and speakers, and a stunning hall with well-tuned wall-panels, because the orchestra, filled with good artists, is sooo small.

I have subscribed this Symphony off and on for years. I have to drive 5 hours to there, but it is worth it. This ensemble is fantastic. Absolutely world class. They are best with 20th century music but also good with the romantic repertoire. I cannot praise them enough. More
