Strictly speaking, a concert in the Musikverein, as long as it is not sponsored by the Vienna Association of Friends of Music, is not an official invitation to the Musikverein, or is rented.
However, we can not simply equate renting rooms with gold-plating, whether gold-plating should be judged according to the artistic level.
