or



you can't vote if you have actually performed on one or both of these. it's not fair to those of us playing 'make believe'

Well, that's tricky because I'd like both/all for their own reasons.  Why do we have to choose in make believe land?

nice options j_menz!

 main reason behind my this or that was that those two in particular are famous for great piano performances in particular (well at least seems that way), yes there are many incredible stages and halls  (i.e. my favorite modern would probably be walt disney hall the LA phil's home


and if we include opera houses, the 'sleeper' that is the incredible colon theater of buenos aires, if you didn't know it was in argentina you'd think it was one of the great old places in europe!)
(also you should goodle some of the interior/non-performance hall and exterior structure pictures they are incredible.


 

but i was just playing with ideas  after seeing recording/video after video that many of the best (at least a large percentage of the ones i've so far come across) by some of the giants of the past and a standard place for people to debut on or at least strive to appear on are those two.

But the only thing that came to my mind when I saw the photos was that the first one has much better lighting  ;D
