The Seattle Mandolin Orchestra has been doing these "Mandolin Messiah" concerts for four years now. Last weekend's show was by all accounts the best of the lot, and we were able to get Al Bergstein to shoot video footage and J. M. McNulty to record the sound. So here is what it looks and sounds like (through a pair of omni-pattern condenser mics).
I know many folks are curious about this but can't necessarily make it out to Seattle to see what it's all about. We have footage and sound from the entire concert, and if it all turns out as well as the Hallelujah Chorus, perhaps we can make a full-length video available in some form.
But for now, here's our Christmas/Hanukkah/Festivus/fill-in-the-blank gift to the mandolin community. Please enjoy responsibly.
