Although the true merrits of the Concertgebouw are it's accoustic properties, and, not in the least place the wonderful concertgebouworchestra, (rated only 2nd in the world) is the phrase on the construction on the "sandy soil" unfortunately incorrect. The concertgebouw is, as the whole of Amsterdam basically build on a peatbog. The piles on which it rests are drivven through the peat to reach a burried sandlayer. This has nothing to do with its accoustic properties, as far as I am informed.

--- I changed the translation of "Grote zaal" from "main hall" to "big hall" for "grote" means "big" in Dutch.

I have alightly changed the reference to the Concertgebouw being one of the three best in the world. The article cited says that the three listed are exmplkes of the very best but does not exclude others. Also, the article was written in1996 and there have been new arrivals such as Birmingham which are also very highly regarded. Concertgebouw is still my favourite, however.
