Today BSO and André Previn played all Mozart program in Tanglewood with Elizabeth Rowe leading in Flute Concerto No. 1:

It was quite good program, though I am not a huge fun of Flute concertos at open air but what was practically interesting today was the sound. I was listening/recorded the live broadcast from WGBH and can report the audio sound was horrible. The broadcast was fine, the reception, the tuners were fine but the electricity was a nightmare….
Well, the flute players during the time of bad electricity die first. A flute is very complex instrument for audio and bad audio projects flute to the background of rest sound, however in reality flute shell glide over music and not to be related to the space of sonic presentation. A flute is like out of phase monster that shell be everywhere BUT it shell be ALSO well-defined if a mind wants it to be. The crappy electricity messes it all – it converts a tree-dimensional and not restricted by boundary flute to bas-relief of upper range frequencies – very very disgusting…
