"It is interesting to hear the difference in RM's sound, legato, staccato, etc, between the Severance and Toledo performances. He seems to sound much better or more characteristic within the acoustic that he has built his playing/equipment around (Severance Hall). This seems to confirm the well known phenomenon that the acoustic of the space can shape the performer's sound/equipment choices in fundamental ways."
Agreed. Beyond this, it would be interesting to know what else was on the program (or programs)--and where these performances fell on them. If 'La Mer' was scheduled on the Severance Hall concert, for instance, and Ein Heldenleben on the Todelo (unlikley, but you see what I mean), there would be another set of challenges for Marcellus to navigate. This is one of the great difficulties for any section player coming out to solo, by the way--the switch back to section playing, if it is immediate, might call for some set-up gymnastics.
This also highlights a particularly necessary skill for a professional soloist. Any soloist needs to sound equally good, insofar as possible, in all venues, regardless of their differences acoustically [there is no telling concert audiences in Chicago that you're 'used' to playing Boston]. But of course they generally don't have to then go back to the section and belt out the second half of the program, either, as Marcellus probably had to in one or both of these cases.
