Très bon. Faire un peu attention à bien choisir sa place car certaines musique donnait plus un brouhaha et on avait du mal a distinguer les instruments

Le concert était excellent, la ponctualité irréprochable et le lieu magnifique. Cependant, il faisait chaud et le grincement des chaises de l'église était gênant. À recommander absolument.

I thiyght the orchestra and the 2 soloists were quite accomplished and enjoyed the music. Wasnt as hspoy about 2 organ pieces. First one would have been enough. Might consider having that played before the test of yhe musicians come on stage as they just had to sit through it.

An unforgettable evening at the Église de la Madeleine. The performance far exceeded our expectations from start to finish. The atmosphere, acoustics, and candlelit setting created something truly magical, but the absolute highlight was the violinist’s exceptional interpretation of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. The emotion, precision, and intensity of the performance were breathtaking. A truly spectacular concert and one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable classical music experience in an iconic setting.

Le niveau sonore n’était malheureusement pas assez élevé. Au premier rang de la catégorie 3, nous avions du mal à entendre le concert. Sinon, les musiciens ainsi que la soprano étaient exceptionnels. Le concert était très beau.
