Musical Spaces

For an architect, being commissioned to design a concert hall is a prodigious challenge and the crowning achievement if the hall is a “success”.  And to do so, that architect has to deliver its aesthetic and technical aspects to perfection. Antoine Pecqueur, an instrumentalist and musical journalist, has selected and visited 30 of the best contemporary halls in the world for this book. Interviewing architects, acoustics experts, stage designers, composers, conductors, instrumentalists, he offers a panorama of the best of the past 30 years.
