Moon over Vienna's Musikverein


Sunday afternoon
I spied the moon

high over the Musikverein,
home of the Vienna Philharmonic

"The Musikverein is famous
for its acoustics and is considered to be one
of the five finest concert/opera venues in the world,
along with Berlin's Konzerthaus, the Concertgebouw
in Amsterdam, Boston's Symphony Hall,
and the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires"

    Leaning over so that you may get a closup.

  4. Beautiful photographs. Although I've never had the pleasure of visiting Vienna and hearing music in this famous hall, I was lucky enough to go to college in a town with another very highly regarded music hall. Believe it or not, the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, in Troy, New York, is regarded as one of the country's acoustically best concert halls, and attracted musicians far beyond what that city would normally draw (it still does). It's certainly the best-sounding hall I've ever had the pleasure to hear, far beyond (for example) Carnegie Hall.

  8. Thank you, dear readers,
    for all your kind comments!
    I savoured each and every one
    with my early afternoon cup of coffee.
    Cheers,
