In the Alhambra there is a small domed room just off one corner of the
Courtyard of Lions that is probably the most amazing acoustic environment
I've ever heard. All of the quieter joys you may have experienced inside
other domes (or similarly shaped curved ceilings) but much tighter, more
delicate, and more focused. Walk to the middle and tap your foot in a
steady slow beat and with the echoes it sounds like a drum roll. There are
many amazing sights in the Alhambra, but this is an amazing "listen."
I've always like "Arabesque for Kenneth Anger" programmed with "Visual
Variations on Noguchi." They make a nice pair.
