### 5/5 — Sublime Music & Outstanding Performances

*2026-08-08, version 4.10.0*

Having been a follower for many years now, I do remember the ups and downs of life and how the Philharmoniker “saved” me every time. You will not find anything like it anywhere else… embrace it and marvel with it!

### 4/5 — Beyond Distance.

*2026-07-29*

I will repeat and send your great organization what I said before: “ Here at home in the USA the Berlin Philarmonic makes me feel closer to its hall and and to music. Music needs your love and concentration, the professionalism of the musicians and personnel facilitates this closeness. As long as I live I will try to keep this wonderful feeling. Congratulations to all and happy and healthy holiday season. Sincerely Leopoldo Labra We keep enjoying your magnificent performances on our music night meetings. I will add the color of the subtitles should clear and legible it should not blend with the background color. My best wishes for your continued professional and artistic success. Respectfully Leopoldo Labra

Adding a respecful suggestion:

Please change the letter white color of your close  captions because is impossible to read when its background is also white. Your excellent technical knowledge will make it easier.
Respectfully 
L. Labra

Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great live, even better recorded

*2026-05-23, version 4.8.0*

If you can’t be there watching live is exciting. But after the digital wizards process the concerts into Atmos the excitement is still there and the concert experience is further enhanced.

### 5/5 — Absolument magnifique

*2026-05-22*

J’adore

### 5/5 — 毎日iPhoneで視聴してます

*2026-05-22*

HIMARI ベルリンデビューと聴いて、その内TV放送がある?と心待ちにしていたが、痺れを切らして探し回ってデジタルコンサートホールを見つけました。
音も画像も無論HIMARIベルリンフィルも素晴らしくフルトベングラー、トスカニーニ時代からのオーディオファンとしては夢のような時代です。

**Developer response:** レビューをお寄せいただき、ありがとうございました。これからもデジタル・コンサートホールをお楽しみいただけると幸いです。

### 5/5 — Lässt fast keine Wünsche offen!

*2026-04-25*

Wirklich gut und das Angebot ist sehr umfangreich. Hintergrundinfos sind auch dabei, Musiker werden vorgestellt und spielen dabei Stücke - ja - einfach toll. Nur komme ich nicht besonders viel zum Hören und genießen, von daher werde ich sporadisch immer mal wieder einen Monat freischalten - solange man nicht auch einzelne Konzerte buchen, oder gar kaufen kann, wie das bei Filmen auf Streamingdiensten oft der Fall ist.

### 3/5 — 混雑時の復帰が難しい

*2026-04-21*

iOS26にしてから、ラッシュアワーの電車など、周りの人口密度が高く大勢が電波を使っている状態のときに再生が止まるのは以前からあるが、そこから再生が再開するまでがとても長く5分ほど音楽が止まったままになるようになってしまった。

改善お願いします。

**Developer response:** ご連絡いただきありがとうございます。現在、デジタル・コンサートホールが正常に動作していないとのことで、誠に申し訳ございません。

まずは、インターネット接続の状態をご確認ください。また、ご利用中に、大容量のダウンロードや他のストリーミングサービスなど、ネットワークに負荷をかける並行処理が行われていないかご確認ください。

### 1/5 — 18 avril

*2026-04-19*

Au cours de la diffusion en direct du 18 avril l’émission s’est interrompue sans possibilité de la reprendre. Depuis impossible de vous adresser un mail, ils sont refusé. Que se passera-t-il ?
Gérald Atlan

### 4/5 — 途中から再生されない

*2026-02-21*

再生していると、いつも最後の方で止まる。
容量も余裕があり、他のアプリは普通なので端末の問題ではなさそう。
このサブスクも、決して安くはないので、改善してほしい。

他は室内楽も充実しているし、満足。

**Developer response:** このたびは、不具合が発生したことをお詫び申し上げます。サポートセンター（help@digitalconcerthall.com）までご連絡いただければ、問題の解決にあたらせていただきます。
どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
