Once again, thanks to Thomas Raa Olsen for the information and the
great photograph. He writes,
'No
doubt Danmarks Radio with producer
Jens Hofman must
have a great
deal of credit for five
successful concerts.
Everything works and is OK
whether the ensemble is
playing in concert halls
as tonight
or "mere" exhibition halls
like Aalborg. Moving
the big production
with sound, light
and continuous
scene-theme
around the country requires
skilled employees, as we
all recognise.
This evening's
concert was
– as could be expected – the highlight of
the five orchestral
delights. Virtually
everything was perfect, and
both band
and orchestra were brilliant.' |
