“I
spent several days in the Esplanade concert hall in Singapore
after it was completed, listening to our new pipe organ. From
my personal view as an organ builder, the acoustics are perfect.
What really impresses me about the acoustics is that they
have clarity and reverberance at the same time --- an almost
unique combination in the world of concert hall acoustics.
With the chamber doors closed, the hall is very resonant,
has good clarity and a very even acoustic at all frequencies.
With these doors fully open, the hall gains a wonderful cathedral-like
sound, with all the voices of the organ being beautifully
understood, still with excellent clarity. You know that I
love Symphony Hall in Birmingham, but the new Esplanade hall
has more resonance. This Singapore hall will very soon be
recognized as one of the best contemporary concert halls in
the world. The Artec acoustics are extraordinary --- incredible.”
