This was my answer to your post, when it was put in the wrong place (is this "wrong place #1?)
A cello section is not a solo cello, or a string quartet cellist.
I never, ever, not even once in 17 years of the "right" seating with Solti, EVER hear anybody complain that they
couldn't hear the cellos because we weren't facing out.
However, since we've been moved to the various "wrong' seatings, there have been many complaints about how
you can't hear the violas (in wrong seating no. 1" or the 2nd violins (in wrong seating no. 2)
I WONDER why that is???????
Don't fix it if it aint broke.
