Meditation, Massenet
The cavernous acoustics of the massive marble interior of the Millenium Centre were surpassed only by what lay in store at the Winnipeg’s Legislative Building, or ‘The Ledge‘ (sp?) as the locals call it! Built under strict and even secretive Masonic architectural guidlelines with stunning craftsmanship and classic proportioning, the resultant acoustics are as focussed and as satisfying to the ear as the visual lines are to the eye. Also particularily evocative was the dim, fading afternoon light, filtering down from latticed windows far above. The suffused early summer light together with the space and its lingering, balanced acoustic, all combined for a transportative experience!
