Just finished watching the first night of the proms from the Royal
Albert Hall, and the quality of the sound was totally immaculate on
digital TV. For a start, the broadcast had full dynamic range. Next,
the newly rebuilt organ was stunning. It whispered and it roared. The
orchestra and choir were spot on, and even with the limitations placed
on miking by the TV people, you could pinpoint just about every
instrument in the orchestra, and every singer in the choir. The
balance of the whole thing was pretty darned near perfect.

So the question is this. How did they do it? Rehearsal time was
limited, no rehearsals having the hall full of people. Sound checks
just about non-existent. Yet still they broadcast perfection.
