What a weird picture of dummies, architects model?
Where is the Boulez Hall? I can’t be bothered to search.
A few thoughts:
(1) Boulez Hall is in Berlin, where it’s known as the “Pierre Boulez Saal”. It’s affiliated with the Barenboim-Said Akademie.
(2) Yes, it would’ve been best for Mr. Lebrecht to write “the Boulez Hall in Berlin”, for the convenience of readers not in the know.
(3) On the other hand, it would arguably have been more seemly for you to write as your comment a sentence like “The Boulez Hall, for the benefit of those lesser cognoscenti to whom Mr. Lebrecht does not seem to wish to cater, is in Berlin”. (Note the deliberate slight snideness.) Your existing comment risks making a less-than-ideal impression on some readers, suggesting as it does a high-water mark in Information-Age intellectual laziness.
It is in Berlin, as far as I know.
why not to bother if you are interested?
