Art, just to expand slightly on the previous replies, especially Alan's, keep in mind that in the concert hall listeners(even those near the front)get a majority of the sound by way of reflections from the hall surfaces rather than as direct sound from the front(one reason why the use of surround processing such as DPLII on stereo recordings often can add to the realism). Just to throw in a ballpark figure, possibly 80% of the sound experienced by someone in the balcony may be reflected. In the course of these reflections the high frequencies are diminished relatively more. So yes, a fairly closely recorded performance, accurately reproduced, will have the violins with fuller high frequencies. I listen almost entirely to classical music on my M22s and have rarely found this to be a problem, but when it is, that's what the treble tone control is there for.
