New York's famous Carnegie Hall tracked musician and audience heart rates during a live performance. The results show how in sync music can make us.
Last year internationally acclaimed pianist Yuja Wang performed a bold marathon concert at Carnegie Hall wearing a device to track her heart rate .
Wang has performed each of these works dozens of times, but she suggested it's the first time these works have been performed all at once "in the history of piano".Celebrate your favourite instruments with a magical concert by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, including Andrea Lam performing from Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini."Tackling all of these works in a single concert is an absolutely incredible feat," said Australian concert pianist Andrea Lam.
Wang's heart rate reached the highest peaks during the finales, which also featured the orchestra playing very loudly. Northey once wore a heart rate monitor while rehearsing. He compared conducting to doing "light aerobics" for many hours, citing the data showed that his heart rate spiked "when the music calls for more physically demonstrative gestures".Lam said for her, one of the most magical things about live concerts is the sense that everyone in the room are immersed in the same stories and sound world.
