The future of symphony concerts


As staid as ever in their musical hopes, Edinburgh’s concert goers are presumably happy with what the coming season is offering them. I can’t say that it really looks fresh enough to me, even if the RSNO’s programmes are unlikely to be a deterrent.

But a glance on line at what the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra is performing in Germany shows deeper thought, and some arresting ideas. As John Duffus, however, suggests in his posting to this blog (see his response to Time for some swagger), it is not necessarily programmes that matter but method and approach. Could he be right? Your response woud be welcome.
