I didn't even know this place existed, and it has catapulted to my bucket list of must visit places, thank you so much for opening me up to places like this!!!
Definitely worth a visit, especially a concert there… 🙏🏻
I was there and it was really amazing!! and honestly it is not that expensive. i got in for 30 euros.
@@tammobrinner4823 Well, Yuya Wang and the San Francisco Smyphony Orchestra would be definitely worth a visit on March 16, 2023. But tickets go up to 171,60€.
The whole city around there is beautiful. The view from the Café at the concert hall is amazing.
Especially with the 50% discount, tickets for ~10€ are not that hard to find if you (I) buy the tickets early on (II) it's not a world class soloist playing.
I live in Hamburg and i often visit the Elbphilharmonie. The way he describes the sound is very accurate but i would add that it feels like every single instrument literally touches you individually. Last year i heard Bartok's divertimento for strings with lahav shani and i am not exaggerating if i say that each instrument was distinguishable from the others. The sound really is on another level. If you visit Hamburg, i highly recommend you visit the "Elphi"
Replying 9 months later to your comment, & personally relying upon merely recorded sound from the Elbphil hall, I listened to a concert posted to TH-cam by the Elbphil's management. They presumably used first-rate equipment. In spite of all of today's modern science, my sense is the far older hall in Vienna & the newer one from the 1960s in Berlin still have more aural quality. The one from the 1880s in Amsterdam, however, seems a bit closer to the sound in Hamburg's hall. The revamped hall in NYC, opened last yr, is kind of middling too. Good acoustics is a very complicated science. Also, a bit subjective
This hall is amazing!🔥🔥🔥
Oh hello Rick :-D
TH-camrs like you, Nahre Sol and Adam Neely are amazing for sharing so many valuable insights with millions of music lovers+creators 👏👏👏🙂
and so is your channel 🙂
Rick you Rick
Super secret band thanks you 🙏🙏🙏
And the music you produced was amazing!
Nahre, you should be making TV documentaries (or documentaries for some streaming service) on music related subjects. You're so personable, it's also obviously something you're knowledgeable and passionate about and your videos are inspiring and informative
times a million-ish. The world has Science Communicators to bring science to the masses to excite the minds of like minded people. (I guess it's a resonance thing.) But the world also needs Music Communicators.
And Art Communicators.
And Peace Communicators.
And Love Communicators.
sorry got carried away there for a sec.
She was part of a PBS series for a while, and then she wasn't and I never found out why. I gradually lost interest in the series after that.
@@mal2ksc yes with the drummer dude that was and still is so cool. My guess is she wanted to work more for herself and less for PBS. And that's cool. Peace.
@Konstantin Ridaya I just meant she's right for the job, if she wanted that job. Underestimating jobs or being an employee will become a luxury when the recession hits, my friend.
@@danfg7215 : She would just end-up being formatted to do the kind of weak and tasteless things TV wants to push between commercials for the most people to watch those.
I would say that's it's almost an insult to some good youtuber to bow down to the level of what TV propose.
I remember being in the Ebphilharmonie and just being afraid to sneeze, because you could here every sound made by the crowd...
Also I think every person living in Hamburg would be happy if the Elphi would not have become the most excpensive contert hall in the world 😂
I felt like I was personally taking part in this amazing experience. What a lovely video, Nahre 🙏🏼
We're so lucky to have Nahre Sol in our lives.
I only live about an hour‘s drive away from the Elbphilharmornie, always knew I‘d have to visit eventually but this makes me want to go asap.
WOOOOOOOW! As a media composer who has spent most of his 30 year career earning a living as an audio engineer and acoustician, this place has been on my radar since sometime before it was built. I cannot express the degree of awe I am now in.
Buy a ticket.
If I ever meet Nahre in real life, I think she would completely melt me with her warmth
welcome to germany 😁
i had a lot of luck to attend a concert there and it was certainly an experience
the tickets were given to us because we were nice to a few older women that had a little accident with their car. we were just tourists in hamburg walking around and suddenly we had some tickets but only little time to get there. we chose to run for 2km and the staff was very nice to us, so we got in in time. shortly after that the doors closed.
i was very sweaty though, so that sucked
Congrats on visiting Germany and especially this great concert hall! :)
I've been there to 2 concerts (1 classical, 1 jazz) and had different seats, but it sounded great no matter where. BUT there's also a disadvantage of this sound design: the concept "everyone hears everything on every seat" also applies to the audience itself! That means, if someone on the other side of the hall is sneezing, coughing, or even just unwrapping a cough drop, it's as loud as if he was sitting next to you! :D
That Sounds a little funny :D
I was attending a concert at the Elbphilharmonie just a few months ago. One of the most amazing concert experiences ever. The sound was immensely good. I have never heard anything like it before
I've been there a few times and always chose seats in different sections.
Every seat has a unique experience, especially when it comes to the visuals.
I can only recommend everyone to visit this architectural masterpiece, even if you're not a huge fan of classical music like me.
Great video
this is quality content on a high level. You should definetly get more attention. Comign from Germany too and really wanting to visit the Elphilaharmonie this video is incredible intresting!
FunFact: One of the first acts to play in the newly opened Elbphilharmonie was a band called "Einstürzende Neubauten" the name of the Band translates to: "collapsing new buildings"
4:53 every time he says: "tiny" -- an angel gets its w1ngz 💻 😇🙏
In an age of music via cell phones, the profound and powerful sound characteristics of the Elbphilharmonie must be inconceivable to most people. Thank you for sharing your curiosity, passion and skill! Very well done!
not only that, the atmosphere of even "simple" halls and cheap school auditoriums completely change the way that sound feels. Being in my school's wind band has allowed me to perform at many locations and each of them have a different texture and how the sound feels. The most memorable for me was the Arcadia Performing Arts Center in Arcadia, California. While the Walt Disney Concert hall was certainly grander and many other "professional" halls were also amazing, the experience of performing on a stage with the sound that normally disappears, but as soon as you enter, becomes the entire atmosphere is not only amazing but also humbling. You feel as if this moment in time, it is only this performance, yourself, and your pure emotions.
Inconceivable??!
Sure, if with Bruckner all you can hear is brass overpowering strings to a point where all you hear is brass. Great acoustics, really! Not!
@@liloruf2838 that's not the acoustic design of the room, thats the players not knowing how to control their dynamics.
@@goldenoodles6281 This is true for people in wind bands, symphony orchestras, smaller ensembles such as chamber orchestras (no heavy brass or saxes) and chamber music ensembles, such as woodwind quartets, wind quintets (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, French horn) and string quartets and string trios... You and the music you make with your sounds become the hall or church or theatre. Every time you play, every time you perform for an audience, it is one of our lives' magical experiences... every time, it repays the hours of practice with your instrument.
What an amazing building. I work in commercial construction and the design and engineering that has gone into this place is staggering. A true marvel.
Your video presentation is also wonderful and extremely informative. Fantastic all around!
Niiice, that opening scene shows why Nahre is legend, she makes legendary things her own that no one else can emulate since her style is truly individual.
This channel is a magical gift to the world.
Inspired to strategically place some egg cartons on the walls & get some wool covers for the sofa and chairs at home 😊 🎵🎹
I really appreciate how good you are at this, beyond playing. Thank you.
Nahre, I never wrote to you before, I watch your practice videos, but now this... I must tell you, thank God you did not become a traditional soloist as our teachers dream for us! There are a lot of those and very few doing what you have been doing, and so well done! We need deep stuff like this, it makes a difference. My gratitude, from Brazil.
You are so very lucky to have experienced this, and we are so lucky as well that you are sharing it with us ❤
I have been in the Elbphilharmonie Last week, me family bought tickets as a birthday present.
Unforgettable experience!
I was in there as part of a Hamburg trip some years ago, but tickets were already sold out when I was planning the trip. Will retry for next summer time, planning 'now'.
Nahre, your video is exceptional as always!
Love the concert hall architectural design, so futuristic ...
That is some good quality B-roll footage you have there! The production value of this video is exquisite.
Superb ! Never hear this place, hopefully I can go there one day.
I got goosebumps when I imagined playing the piano there
Scintillating, exquisite, pure; Exceptional unique experience.
Agree with all the comments! My next pilgrimage will be to here. Thanks for the informative and wonderful video experience.
I've passed by it many times, i'm glad to hear from you it sounds as impressive as it looks.
I'll go to a concert there eventually... hopefully...
Though my architectural career has not dealt much with auditoriums, I have a deep fascination with the acoustics of spaces, their design capabilities to capture natural detail and volume of instruments - for an experience enhanced by the visual beauty of the surroundings. This is something audiophiles try to reproduce with specific selections of hifi equipment and recorded music. Looking forward to more of this excellent exploration Nahre!
I work at Elbphilharmonie and it is such a privilege to be able to experience so many different concerts and amazing artists there. Especially contemporary classical music sounds excellent in the grand hall
Could we please (PLEASE) get a video just of your playing in this hall?
one of my favorite places to hear Jazz before I moved was a Lutheran church that had Jazz Vespers in their sanctuary monthly. The sanctuary had excellent acoustic so the groups played acoustically and sound was amazing. The drummers were only ones that had to adjust to playing softer, but once they did they got into how much more dynamic they could play. Acoustically good rooms help even for loud types music.
Since I saw that Hoffmann upright piano on the last video, I should have imagine you are in Germany, just around the corner! Wildling to See all that Videos you are producing here!
Just recently visited the plaza again to show a friend around my hometown. I remember the years and years of controversy about the construction site, the delay, the cost and all that came with the Elphi.
Now that it is finished, it truly became the most impotant sight to visit in the city and it is loved allover. The iconic rooftop is a unique part of the skyline and it is visible from all over the city. Beautiful addition to an already beautiful City. Only the indoor-stairs feel awkward to walk on.
Well now. Something ELSE for the bucket list. Absolutely amazing. Great vid.
Hi Nahre, what a really nice and unexpected video! You've put a lot in this short and interesting video. I'm from the Netherlands and only know about this hall because I also follow a channel on model railway building. Just around the corner from that Elbphilharmonie you can find the worlds' largest model railway called Miniature Wonderland. These people made a (also very expensive) model of this building in their Hamburg section.
This model even opens up to reveal the inner section with the concert hall. They got to use the original blueprints and although it also took a long time they had a grand opening with a concert by the musicians from the Elbphilharmonie before the real building opened. Little detail: all musician of the orchestra move when there is music played.
Anyway, I wish I could hear you play this hall but I'll have to imagine that I guess ;-) Loved the video and look forward to the next one.
Hey Marcel, nice to see you here, and to see that you’re a fan of Nahre as well. Maybe we should organise a trip to Hamburg for our little group of Twitter friends! I would love to see this building and attend a concert!
Having been a theatre actor myself, I know the importance of live performances and interaction with the surrounding is a core aspect. I always try to visit theatres in the places I travel to, and I will go to Hamburg sure! Thank you Nahre 🙏🏻🌞
@Soulful Notes I checked it, there are some nice things 🙏🏻🌞
Wow we may have to change our itinerary coming next year.... I'm getting chills just thinking about it. What an incredible space... thank you for sharing this with us!!

Fantastic video! Now I have another destination and experience to fullfill added to my bucket list. Thanks!
Amazing stuff, nahre!
Lovely Video. I found your point about the "best resources in architecture and acoustics" to be an interesting one. I am currently studying pursuing a masters in architecture and something we talk about a lot is moving away from this extractivist world. Why do we need to spend exuberant amounts of money to make the "best" acoustic space? Why do we need to exploit numerous counties for their resources and labor to create this spectacle for such a specific audience? Look back at the Greek amphitheaters. They were designed with the same acoustic goal in mind as the Elbphilharmonie: to make the performer(s) heard. And this amphitheater arguably succeeds just as much as the Elbphilharmonie. The difference was one was over engineered and designed with unsustainable materials that will last for only about 30 years (did you know concrete is most commonly rated to last 30 years?) and the other is still standing today, some 1700 years later.
Sorry for the tangent, I just found myself interested in this conversation and I wanted to share my thoughts. What do you all think?
You might be interested in a couple of chapters from Christopher Small‘s “Musicking” if you don’t already know it.
i seriously love your comment, thank you so much for taking your time to make it.
The Elbphilharmonie and the amphitheater might've both been designed for the same goal, but the types of performances that each were designed for are quite different: concert halls are designed to handle a large amount of heterogeneous instruments and singers, which means that they have to be really careful when dealing with reverb; the Greeks designed their theater halls mainly to project just one speaker or performer at a time (or a group that's performing all the same thing), they are more focused on pure projection, not sure the two can really be compared.
Buildings like the Elbphilharmonie (and for that matter, Greek amphitheaters) are maximalist and extravagant, and I agree with you in that there is something off about directing public funds into a project that is going to charge a high ticket price (and thus not really a public good). But, I would say that is an oversimplification to say that that good acoustic design _necessarily_ means money bombs or exploitation.
(Also, I don't know the expected life on the construction materials but I would _hope_ for ~900 million Euro you get the good concrete and not the 30-year stuff).
@@jared_bowden it definitely depends on the type of concrete but seriously most concrete lasts about 30 years.
Amazing video, thanks
Thank you for this video! I didn't know these things and they make every koncerthall much more interesting!
Great video! Thank you
A must visit! So impressive! ✨️ 😍
Best video I saw in ages. Thank you. Elbphilharmonie is on my bucket list now
What a wonderful interior. I'll need to add this to the bucket list.
Amazing video Nahre! Wow that was so fascinating and such a great topic. I enjoyed it so much! How cool! And your organ playing sounds great!!
Really great video. Story well told and well produced. Much love from an acoustics enthusiast 😊
Already love the concept of this video ! Keep making diverse content like this, it's always soooo interesting !
Thanks Nahre you are so special, your love for music is projected to my heart
This is mindboggling, the amount of detail, nothing was ignored! Thank you for sharing!
Wow, I love this video, Nahre.
What an incredible documentation and a very unique perspective. I have had the pleasure of enjoying a concert in this hall already some years ago and getting these insights is incredible. Looking forward to seeing more :)
Another brilliant video, Nahre! thank you so much for what you do for the classical music community, we really appreciate all your efforts & you’re a true gem! ❤
Thank you, Nahre, for the videos you make. Your youtube channel is really very special.
I love this awesome new series of videos that Nahre is surely starting, where she takes us around the greatest concert halls and opera houses in the world!
Beautiful video! I was yesterday at the Elbphilarmonie!
To me the house is a part of the experience. I absolutely LOVE going to the royal opera house in Stockholm, Sweden. Its acoustic is far from the level of places like the Elbphilharmonie, but to me house is a piece of the art performed on stage. I hope I'll get to visit Elbphilharmonie one day as well. To be honest that is probably more to experience the architecture than the orchestra. I don't think my hearing is good enough to really appreciate it. To me the house itself is a piece of art.
Wow! So cool of you to make a video on this place. I had no idea a concert hall this cool existed, maybe one day I'll get to enjoy a concert there too. Thank you Nahre!
Thank you for the trip Nahre!! 🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for the clear, descriptive explanations that have increased my appreciation of this concert hall one hundred-fold. I was amazed by what you were able to tour -- that must have been en extraordinary experience. To play the pipe organ as you did -- wow, just wow! Truly an incredible place and an exceptional presentation on your part. Thank you!
I am from Hamburg and I vividly remember the political turmoil and the ridiculous economical disaster that kept the city on its toes, when it was first decided and while it had been built. And it always made me think with resentment of the "Elphi" (as they affectionately call it in Hamburg). In fact, I refused to see any concerts there for years. But after I had seen Olafur Arnalds there a few years ago during his Re:member tour, I have fallen in love. And your video has given me goosebumps - it's geeky and nerdy in the best possible way (love the behind the scenes looks!) and it fuels my home sickness... Luckily, I live in Copenhagen now, where we have DR Koncerthuset, which is an equally amazing concert hall in its own right. :)
I love this!!! Thank you so much, I was totally delighted by your visit there, and sharing it with us. Ich bewundere die deutsche Ingenieurskunst
