In german to go. Learn german for three w. O u. Welcome back to therese music berlin had a new concert hall the Pierre Boulez is named after the late great composer and the concert here are being described as music for the thinking ear the whole and especially the acoustic are supposed to be really fantastic i cant wait to go in and have a look at. The piano opened in march two thousand and seventeen as part of the barenboim saeed academy and especially for Chamber Music top musicians from all over the world are already lined up to play here and the first season is packed with stars one of the first being the georgian violinist liza but its really. Short break for the musicians during the first part of the hustle i listened upstairs downstairs i walked around the acoustic really is fantastic but i think it sounds best right from the very top. Going. Through. Leads a fantastic rehearsal and of course the first question has to be what was it like playing in this amazing hole yeah its quite amazing actually to be part of this the birth of a new space which is so special because from the one side you see you feel the space. And at the same time you feel that people are very close to you because you have leaders yeah i know but i know it because the seats are quite close and i know that we will be surrounded by the all and i think theres even some more coming tonight for more seats are going to be even clearer imo yes and actually we decided to make a circle you will see that and because in a way the music will be in the middle and its matches actually of course the form of the of the hall and there is no clear direction so basically music is everywhere and it makes a big difference i think how do you think you feel with the presenting because acoustic wise the violin plays out where i was up here right at the top of the rehearsal you can hear every single note doesnt matter what direction thats the beauty of this and we feel that we feel that that actually doesnt really matter where you stand and actually the reason why we are standing and not sitting it was actually in my life a request because then there is more possibilities of contact with each other but also if we want to just go this way and how it led to this part of the audience then we can do it when if we sit down we just cant afford that and i think that also standing up in this kind of hole is i think a good idea what about bowing have you thought about bowing how are you going to. I think we have to make a plan. To us first. So tell me you are in all sorts of concert halls you play all around the world and this theme acoustic is of course for us musicians incredibly important now this whole is a total present for berlin i mean even just. Speaking you can hear how resonant and how wonderful it how do you adapt to different acoustics when youre traveling all over the world at the end of the day i think i try to just play the way i want to play but of course it helps me a lot to have acoustic that actually is pleasant and then sound comes back to me and and i feel the music and its not like a playing and sound stops on the way so thats thats a wonderful feeling i must say this hall because of the nature of it and because of the inspiration for this great people like byron boy and gary and mr toyota who actually were so inspired to build this whole because they are doing is for young generation for the academy for the future i think this is also why the school has become such a symbol and symbolic place and it will remain and also that it has a completely different programming than the usual concert or music concert halls and actually im looking forward also to quite soon as possible sit in the audience and also enjoy this music from the other side because theres one thing to be standing there be concentrated but i want to enjoy a concert myself here well enjoy the concerts and i certainly will thank you something here. The famous american architect Frank Gehry Designed a Pierre Boulez and acoustic design was in the hands of another legend the japanese acquisition yes so hes a toyota who has been involved with designing many of the top concert halls in the world you have to thank you for talking to us you are about to hear the concert with lisa here it must be really fascinating to hear the music living in this building that you have been creating of course and im very happy to be here together with you in the new console can you relax and listen to the concert or are your ears always at work. Sometimes of course and i wanted to redux bierria thats of course above me im sometimes and i have to listen carefully and i saw i would say in both ways is it different to do the acoustic for an oval space is does that make any difference if youre talking about an oval shape and that where the balcony is not a big issue and the about i mean if youre talking about an almost ship over all of the seating radio. I think this is a very unique and the. Exposure in terms of their location with the stage of course and the of the audience so close yes of course on that this is a one of the issue you know to take in the this special ray. What do you have a favorite seat in the hall can you say i like to see to listen from to see ok to many people many people ask me was the best seat for the miles was very clear. Very unfortunately. We dont have any best seats although we have many excellent seats thats a very good answer so it doesnt matter where you buy your ticket for here you hear everywhere you can make sure you know youre going to enjoy in very different ways thats going into the concert now i think. Thats often sarahs music for today the concerts about to start and i have the feeling that audience is really excited to experience this new hall come and see for yourself the next time once there is music.
