Acoustics at the MOST EXPENSIVE Concert Hall in the World

[@Skibbityboo0580]

I didn't even know this place existed, and it has catapulted to my bucket list of must visit places, thank you so much for opening me up to places like this!!!

[@NahreSol]

Definitely worth a visit, especially a concert there… 🙏🏻

[@tammobrinner4823]

I was there and it was really amazing!! and honestly it is not that expensive. i got in for 30 euros.

[@g3cd]

@@tammobrinner4823 Well, Yuya Wang and the San Francisco Smyphony Orchestra would be definitely worth a visit on March 16, 2023. But tickets go up to 171,60€.

[@Rondo2ooo]

The whole city around there is beautiful. The view from the Café at the concert hall is amazing.

[@leonard2000s]

Especially with the 50% discount, tickets for ~10€ are not that hard to find if you (I) buy the tickets early on (II) it's not a world class soloist playing.

[@RickBeato]

This hall is amazing!🔥🔥🔥

[@sevrjukov]

Oh hello Rick :-D

[@robbiedubbelman3024]

KZbinrs like you, Nahre Sol and Adam Neely are amazing for sharing so many valuable insights with millions of music lovers+creators 👏👏👏🙂

[@martinpaddle]

and so is your channel 🙂

[@kodykindhart5644]

Rick you Rick Super secret band thanks you 🙏🙏🙏

[@christophergetchell6490]

And the music you produced was amazing!

[@danfg7215]

Nahre, you should be making TV documentaries (or documentaries for some streaming service) on music related subjects. You're so personable, it's also obviously something you're knowledgeable and passionate about and your videos are inspiring and informative

[@joe-e-geo]

times a million-ish. The world has Science Communicators to bring science to the masses to excite the minds of like minded people. (I guess it's a resonance thing.) But the world also needs Music Communicators. And Art Communicators. And Peace Communicators. And Love Communicators. sorry got carried away there for a sec.

[@joe-e-geo]

@@mal2ksc yes with the drummer dude that was and still is so cool. My guess is she wanted to work more for herself and less for PBS. And that's cool. Peace.

@Konstantin Ridaya I just meant she's right for the job, if she wanted that job. Underestimating jobs or being an employee will become a luxury when the recession hits, my friend.

[@ThomasKundera]

@@danfg7215 : She would just end-up being formatted to do the kind of weak and tasteless things TV wants to push between commercials for the most people to watch those. I would say that's it's almost an insult to some good youtuber to bow down to the level of what TV propose.

[@deciph_7563]

I live in Hamburg and i often visit the Elbphilharmonie. The way he describes the sound is very accurate but i would add that it feels like every single instrument literally touches you individually. Last year i heard Bartok's divertimento for strings with lahav shani and i am not exaggerating if i say that each instrument was distinguishable from the others. The sound really is on another level. If you visit Hamburg, i highly recommend you visit the "Elphi"

[@gridley]

Replying 9 months later to your comment, & personally relying upon merely recorded sound from the Elbphil hall, I listened to a concert posted to KZbin by the Elbphil's management. They presumably used first-rate equipment. In spite of all of today's modern science, my sense is the far older hall in Vienna & the newer one from the 1960s in Berlin still have more aural quality. The one from the 1880s in Amsterdam, however, seems a bit closer to the sound in Hamburg's hall. The revamped hall in NYC, opened last yr, is kind of middling too. Good acoustics is a very complicated science. Also, a bit subjective

[@truecuckoo]

I felt like I was personally taking part in this amazing experience. What a lovely video, Nahre 🙏🏼

[@beegyoshiofficial8518]

We're so lucky to have Nahre Sol in our lives.

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Niiice, that opening scene shows why Nahre is legend, she makes legendary things her own that no one else can emulate since her style is truly individual.

[@cymbalspecialist]

In an age of music via cell phones, the profound and powerful sound characteristics of the Elbphilharmonie must be inconceivable to most people. Thank you for sharing your curiosity, passion and skill! Very well done!

[@goldenoodles6281]

not only that, the atmosphere of even "simple" halls and cheap school auditoriums completely change the way that sound feels. Being in my school's wind band has allowed me to perform at many locations and each of them have a different texture and how the sound feels. The most memorable for me was the Arcadia Performing Arts Center in Arcadia, California. While the Walt Disney Concert hall was certainly grander and many other "professional" halls were also amazing, the experience of performing on a stage with the sound that normally disappears, but as soon as you enter, becomes the entire atmosphere is not only amazing but also humbling. You feel as if this moment in time, it is only this performance, yourself, and your pure emotions.

[@liloruf2838]

Inconceivable??! Sure, if with Bruckner all you can hear is brass overpowering strings to a point where all you hear is brass. Great acoustics, really! Not!

[@goldenoodles6281]

@@liloruf2838 that's not the acoustic design of the room, thats the players not knowing how to control their dynamics.

[@tim2015]

@@goldenoodles6281 This is true for people in wind bands, symphony orchestras, smaller ensembles such as chamber orchestras (no heavy brass or saxes) and chamber music ensembles, such as woodwind quartets, wind quintets (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, French horn) and string quartets and string trios... You and the music you make with your sounds become the hall or church or theatre. Every time you play, every time you perform for an audience, it is one of our lives' magical experiences... every time, it repays the hours of practice with your instrument.

[@the_listamin]

This channel is a magical gift to the world.

[@moritzrkm]

this is quality content on a high level. You should definetly get more attention. Comign from Germany too and really wanting to visit the Elphilaharmonie this video is incredible intresting!

[@frankyeichler3303]

I was attending a concert at the Elbphilharmonie just a few months ago. One of the most amazing concert experiences ever. The sound was immensely good. I have never heard anything like it before

[@anatomicallymodernhuman5175]

WOOOOOOOW! As a media composer who has spent most of his 30 year career earning a living as an audio engineer and acoustician, this place has been on my radar since sometime before it was built. I cannot express the degree of awe I am now in.

[@goodgood9955]

Buy a ticket.

[@simonegorete]

Nahre, I never wrote to you before, I watch your practice videos, but now this... I must tell you, thank God you did not become a traditional soloist as our teachers dream for us! There are a lot of those and very few doing what you have been doing, and so well done! We need deep stuff like this, it makes a difference. My gratitude, from Brazil.

[@JoeyIndolos]

You are so very lucky to have experienced this, and we are so lucky as well that you are sharing it with us ❤

[@linusco2749]

I've been there a few times and always chose seats in different sections. Every seat has a unique experience, especially when it comes to the visuals. I can only recommend everyone to visit this architectural masterpiece, even if you're not a huge fan of classical music like me. Great video

[@patrickprotzman2407]

What an amazing building. I work in commercial construction and the design and engineering that has gone into this place is staggering. A true marvel. Your video presentation is also wonderful and extremely informative. Fantastic all around!

[@Test-zd4mp]

I only live about an hour‘s drive away from the Elbphilharmornie, always knew I‘d have to visit eventually but this makes me want to go asap.

[@santiagofdez.4351]

I have been in the Elbphilharmonie Last week, me family bought tickets as a birthday present. Unforgettable experience!

[@guyb7005]

Though my architectural career has not dealt much with auditoriums, I have a deep fascination with the acoustics of spaces, their design capabilities to capture natural detail and volume of instruments - for an experience enhanced by the visual beauty of the surroundings. This is something audiophiles try to reproduce with specific selections of hifi equipment and recorded music. Looking forward to more of this excellent exploration Nahre!

[@dukeengine1339]

Having been a theatre actor myself, I know the importance of live performances and interaction with the surrounding is a core aspect. I always try to visit theatres in the places I travel to, and I will go to Hamburg sure! Thank you Nahre 🙏🏻🌞

[@dukeengine1339]

@Soulful Notes I checked it, there are some nice things 🙏🏻🌞

[@colouredmirrorball]

That is some good quality B-roll footage you have there! The production value of this video is exquisite.

[@garneleh]

I work at Elbphilharmonie and it is such a privilege to be able to experience so many different concerts and amazing artists there. Especially contemporary classical music sounds excellent in the grand hall

[@okkewarner]

I remember being in the Ebphilharmonie and just being afraid to sneeze, because you could here every sound made by the crowd... Also I think every person living in Hamburg would be happy if the Elphi would not have become the most excpensive contert hall in the world 😂

[@zeepoi1694]

Love the concert hall architectural design, so futuristic ...

[@alanhirayama4592]

This is mindboggling, the amount of detail, nothing was ignored! Thank you for sharing!

If I ever meet Nahre in real life, I think she would completely melt me with her warmth

[@user-yw9mw9hv8o]

I've passed by it many times, i'm glad to hear from you it sounds as impressive as it looks. I'll go to a concert there eventually... hopefully...

[@salliemorrill2671]

Loved this acoustic tour. Yes, this is very important for musicians to comprehend. As an audio engineer, I got it & loved it.

[@rmp5s]

Well now. Something ELSE for the bucket list. Absolutely amazing. Great vid.

[@FauxieDaoJia]

I really appreciate how good you are at this, beyond playing. Thank you.

[@aramb]

What a fantastic place! Thanks for bringing us along with you.

[@johannah.2654]

Just recently visited the plaza again to show a friend around my hometown. I remember the years and years of controversy about the construction site, the delay, the cost and all that came with the Elphi. Now that it is finished, it truly became the most impotant sight to visit in the city and it is loved allover. The iconic rooftop is a unique part of the skyline and it is visible from all over the city. Beautiful addition to an already beautiful City. Only the indoor-stairs feel awkward to walk on.

[@mikemorris5074]

Elbphilharmonie is stunning and it has totally blown me away seeing this Video Nahre as i didn't know anything about this Concert Hall. I really need to visit now, thanks..

[@DojoOfCool]

one of my favorite places to hear Jazz before I moved was a Lutheran church that had Jazz Vespers in their sanctuary monthly. The sanctuary had excellent acoustic so the groups played acoustically and sound was amazing. The drummers were only ones that had to adjust to playing softer, but once they did they got into how much more dynamic they could play. Acoustically good rooms help even for loud types music.

[@Bobby_the_Brot]

Best video I saw in ages. Thank you. Elbphilharmonie is on my bucket list now

[@FantasKanal]

FunFact: One of the first acts to play in the newly opened Elbphilharmonie was a band called "Einstürzende Neubauten" the name of the Band translates to: "collapsing new buildings"

[@katehunt8029]

Agree with all the comments! My next pilgrimage will be to here. Thanks for the informative and wonderful video experience.

[@RobWhittlestone]

Excellent video! I attended a concert here in 2018 of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring with upcoming professional musicians - it is a stunning space with brilliant acoustics which supported the dramatic composition and equally dramatic and capable performance. I am a physicist with acoustics speciality, so could appreciate all the thought and detail planning that went into this hall. All the best, Rob in Switzerland

[@CoolJay77]

I trust the acoustics are great as described. One small compromise by a visual judgement, having sort of open space around the orchestra, namely behind the double bass strings, the acoustics will lack some warmth. That is my experience from Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Did you find that to be the case at Elbphilharmonie as well?

[@JamesSBaker-de6sd]

It is my life’s dream to see a concert here with all of these wonderful people. This hall is such a gift

[@sisyphusvasilias3943]

The quality of this channel's content continues to amaze me. The "music processional's inside look" is just the basis for the channel, the topics go deep into relevant, tech, engineering, sociology and more. Every video is novel and unexpected and produces an experience of discovery and wonder for me. Then the planning that Nahre puts into telling the story both literally and visually shows. I can't help think what video ideas Nahre has NOT MADE because they don't meet these standards. Exceptional Documentary Storytelling. thank you Nahre.

[@M0M...]

SOOOO EXCITED FOR MORE OF THIS!

[@rufex2001]

Thank you for making this video. When I was choosing a major in college I wanted to know who builds concert halls and if there is a reason why they're so intricate but I couldn't figure it out. When I finally learned what an acoustician was I knew that's what I wanted to do but it's still so hard to find resources about it and acoustics in general. Thanks for spreading the love and making an encapsulating and incredibly accurate video!!!

What a wonderful tour, thank you very much. I was reminded of my cherished college years which were rich with classical music. I have to say, my favorite parts were when your face lit up with your lovely smile. It has made my day much better.

[@ytspam1000]

Congrats on visiting Germany and especially this great concert hall! :) I've been there to 2 concerts (1 classical, 1 jazz) and had different seats, but it sounded great no matter where. BUT there's also a disadvantage of this sound design: the concept "everyone hears everything on every seat" also applies to the audience itself! That means, if someone on the other side of the hall is sneezing, coughing, or even just unwrapping a cough drop, it's as loud as if he was sitting next to you! :D

[@1josi3]

That Sounds a little funny :D

[@chicoaria]

Since I saw that Hoffmann upright piano on the last video, I should have imagine you are in Germany, just around the corner! Wildling to See all that Videos you are producing here!

[@MarcelHuguenin]

Hi Nahre, what a really nice and unexpected video! You've put a lot in this short and interesting video. I'm from the Netherlands and only know about this hall because I also follow a channel on model railway building. Just around the corner from that Elbphilharmonie you can find the worlds' largest model railway called Miniature Wonderland. These people made a (also very expensive) model of this building in their Hamburg section. This model even opens up to reveal the inner section with the concert hall. They got to use the original blueprints and although it also took a long time they had a grand opening with a concert by the musicians from the Elbphilharmonie before the real building opened. Little detail: all musician of the orchestra move when there is music played. Anyway, I wish I could hear you play this hall but I'll have to imagine that I guess ;-) Loved the video and look forward to the next one.

[@DickvanSoest]

Hey Marcel, nice to see you here, and to see that you’re a fan of Nahre as well. Maybe we should organise a trip to Hamburg for our little group of Twitter friends! I would love to see this building and attend a concert!

[@nomusician4737]

To me the house is a part of the experience. I absolutely LOVE going to the royal opera house in Stockholm, Sweden. Its acoustic is far from the level of places like the Elbphilharmonie, but to me house is a piece of the art performed on stage. I hope I'll get to visit Elbphilharmonie one day as well. To be honest that is probably more to experience the architecture than the orchestra. I don't think my hearing is good enough to really appreciate it. To me the house itself is a piece of art.

[@PabloskyS84]

Wooow!! That was from another planet... Thank you =)

[@philaeew4866]

I literally was in there yesterday for the first time, listening to Joy Crookes playing a sassy RnB concert for a festival. Such a cool place.

[@DJone4one]

It is not only the exterior of the Elbphilamonie that is unique and perfect, but its interior. From the floor, to the individual seats, to the wall and ceiling construction, it has been a task of architectural perfectionism to create something like this.

[@sevrjukov]

Thank you for the video! Brilliantly narrated and filmed!

[@elijahn1]

im not the greatest player so i feel like sound is ultimately my business. This is my favorite nahre soul video. It just speaks to my interest and i dont think anyone has ever done a video like this that captures so much about sound, reverb, ... i have altiverb software if you all know what that is. It has all sorts of famous religious and concert hall reverbs but real reverb and how its acheived for a live experienced is the deepest most spiritual part of music. i also loved her talking about how much human energy goes into a live concert .. THanks!

[@journees4300]

This is so great a video. You presented it so profesionally. Thank you so much for this.

[@everpuremusic]

I am from Hamburg and I vividly remember the political turmoil and the ridiculous economical disaster that kept the city on its toes, when it was first decided and while it had been built. And it always made me think with resentment of the "Elphi" (as they affectionately call it in Hamburg). In fact, I refused to see any concerts there for years. But after I had seen Olafur Arnalds there a few years ago during his Re:member tour, I have fallen in love. And your video has given me goosebumps - it's geeky and nerdy in the best possible way (love the behind the scenes looks!) and it fuels my home sickness... Luckily, I live in Copenhagen now, where we have DR Koncerthuset, which is an equally amazing concert hall in its own right. :)

[@leonpetrich5864]

I had the privilege of attending a concert there a few years ago. While I didn´t enjoy the pieces that were performed, it was still an incredible acoustic experience, easily surpassing the acoustics of the Vienna Musikvereinssaal.
