Applause at the end

Absolutely agree with you there,FF. Surely if ythey are true music lovers, (or appreciaters perhaps?), they would relsaise this and not gibve out this spontaneous habit. It's only at this festival,am I right that it happens?

NB: Thank you for that link, MrGG

I didn't see the intrusive interview because I was in the hall, but he played the Falla in part two of the Prom, so they could hardly have ambushed him during the interval, collected or otherwise.

Apologies. Of course you are correct.

No need for the apology, i'm absolutely with you, and I'll catch the moment on iPlayer before it vanishes.
Bws.

I'm not planning to start the whole thing off again
the Proms is and always has been a popular music festival
it's not the same as late night Feldman at HCMF

whilst I agree that Feldman at 'uddersfield is definitely for cognoscenti the Proms is not a popular-music festival but an attempt to popularise serious music -

the composer was somewhat better than your average musical of today - however under recent management I'll admit the Proms have moved more towards the circus end of the 'big tent'.
