See the second post for all info!

I just received a tip that the Pittsburgh Symphony will be VIDEO streaming LIVE Ein Heldenleben fr/Berlin on August 31! More details and links as soon as I get them. It'll be around 2pm Eastern on Saturday August 31st. At this time, I don't know where it will be streamed on the web either.

I hope that this show will be archived at youtube, but I don't know that for sure. Watch LIVE if at all possible.

LIVE VIDEO on Saturday August 31 at 20h Central European, 2pm Eastern Time, 1pm CT....11am Pacific. 7pm London,
very early on Sunday morning in Asia.

Masterful playing. I still would like to watch one of these where the camera crew knows the score a little better.

I know that the Pittsburgh Symphony sits differently than the Berlin Phil, so that's a lot of the problem. The Digital Concert Hall performances with the Berlin Phil are as good as it gets! I'm sure it's hard for the video people to get used to a new set up quickly of a visiting orchestras. I just hate shots of the conductor when something (anything!) is a lot better than what she/he is doing.

By the way when the Berlin Phil is playing, one person is doing the six or seven cameras...and I'm sure it's the same when a visiting orchestra is playing.
