create an entirely natural and plausible result.

the enhanced acoustic can be considered the
true acoustic of the hall that the designers had
intended from the start.
A er the rst rehearsal in Andermatt, the
leader of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
commented that “we hear ourselves and each
other perfectly” – a good basis indeed for topquality
music-making.
“As the nal notes of the opening concert
resonated in the hall, it was clear that Sawiris’
desire to create a unique venue with world-class
acoustics had been successfully realised,” says
Kahle. “To experience musicians of this calibre
in such an intimate setting was truly an
experience to remember.” ■
