Berlioz's orchestral layout
I have had confirmation that the layout of the orchestra for the Salomon Orchestra concert on Tuesday was based on that recommended by Berlioz. They got as close as they could within the limits placed by the performing space. Nice to see people experimenting in this way rather than simply playing everything in the same standard layout.
