Did you watch the broadcast from the link I posted.
Dutch TV AVRO did a very good job.

Yes, AVRO usually does a more than decent job.

Anyone recognise the location?

The Dom in Utrecht?

Haven't been there more than once - I am spoiled by being within walking
distance from Amsterdam Concertgebouw...

Lucky you:-)

I have worked on several recording projects in Holland
with orchestral players from Hilversum. We recorded at
a very fine church near Lunen.

Lunen probably had less of an issue with background noise
compared to Amsterdam...

Listen to some of Hogwood's recordings made here in Hampstead (London)
at St-Judes-under-the-flightpath.

Will Den Haag do?

OK, *that* I can imagine being recorded in Amsterdam or Den Haag!

It was not the the traffic that bothered us during the day,
but the sparrows. Unbelievably loud!

So, we recorded at night,
went for bicycle rides and ate Rookworst
with Ivanabitch during the day:-)

Great fun!

Heh, yes. Here in Amsterdam we have the parakeets (started out
with a squatter breeding hundreds of them in an empty attic in
the 70's - when he got evicted he just released them). Annoyingly
loud, and not really songbirds...

Loads of them in London too. Started somewhere near Hampton Court perhaps
25 years ago and have been spreading since, to all the many parks and
commons.

But hardly any sparrows now, sadly. I actually liked them when doing
speech recording for location drama. They masked other less acceptable
noises.

I'm not sure if the parakeets being able to live here now while sparrows
are much reduced is due to climate change?

I think the sparrows are gone because the insects have gone. I
remember in the 1970's if I went for a drive I always had a damp
chamois leather in the car. Every hour or so I would have to stop to
get all the splattered bugs off the windscreen. These days I can drive
for hours and nothing commits suicide on the front of my car.

I guess this is a combination of climate change and insecticides.

They disappeared from round here near overnight. Or it seemed like that.
The only slight advantage being (apparently) a bigger selections of other
species of birds seen in the garden.

I miss their constant chirping. It's never quiet in London, and that was
nicer than the sounds of distant traffic and other man made things.
