Answer

What acoustic challenges did the Concert de la luna face in Mallorca?

During the Mallorca night, amplification repeatedly struggled; overly aggressive EQ, poorly positioned speakers, and a boost in the highs distorted timbre. Brass and cymbals lost their rounded body and cut through unpleasantly, shifting balance away from soloists and orchestra. The result was ambivalence from the crowd, even as the emotional moments kept the audience engaged.
