@MaestroSerge: Yes. Almost impossible to get a decent sound in that hall regardless of microphone placement. It's a smallish (c. 800 seat) square box. I understand that the original intent when the building was first constructed was for a much larger space--depthwise--hence, it is too wide for its depth and nothing is focused anywhere. One would think that a Big 10 university could do better; a replacement is in the works, but we know how long those things can take.
Pretty good conducting, orchesnra sounds good too regardsless of distorted sound becaouse of position of camera microphone

@MahlerTitan This is the fourth movement. Most symphonies have four movements, but some have five movements. This symphony has five movements.
