Originally posted by pastoralguy View PostExactly! I've written about this occason on these boards before but I remember hearing a very young Nigel Kennedy playing the Tchaikovsky violin concerto with the SNO under Christopher Seaman at the Kelvin Halls during their Prom season in Glasgow in 1979. At the end of the first movement, the audience simply erupted and many people were on their feet. It was then that many realised just what a special talent Nig was.

The fact is there is going to be noise anyway between movements so it's a matter of complete indifference to me whether it's clapping, coughing, rustling a sweet wrapper, talking or the hiss of opening a bottle of water. As long as none of those are done while the music is playing that's just fine by me.

Thanks, silvestrione. I've listened to the Birtwistle piece regularly since the first broadcast and it grows in impressiveness each time. By some considerable distance, the finest Proms commission in many, many years.
The composer talks about the new work on the Boosey & Hawkes website:
Harrison Birtwistle introduces his new orchestral work, Deep Time, resonating with temporal and seismic themes and receiving first performances under the baton of Daniel Barenboim in Berlin and London this summer.
