I see they are together again at London\u2019s Royal Festival Hall tonight \u00a0and travel to Athens for a concert there on Saturday. British orchestras work hard and, with the severe cuts in arts funding in the U.K. (in Newcastle, for example, all funding has been abolished), they have no option but to keep working, though to the great profit of their audiences in the metropolis and around the country. We heard the Philharmonia with the same conductor in Frankfurt two years ago and always enjoy their annual visits to Bristol. Modern British orchestras are versatile as well as busy. Last month the Philharmonia gave an Anniversary Gala in London to mark the 50th Anniversary of the James Bond movies and the screening of the latest film, \u2018Skyfall\u2019 (\u2026I thought the film mad, but entertaining ).<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Glancing at a various concert programmes, there seems to be an emphasis these days on Russian music, and Sunday\u2019s programme was no exception. Tchaikovsky\u2019s 6th Symphony (The Pathetique) was the main work and it was given a disciplined but passionate performance. The strings particularly were quite wonderful. Many of the audience were caught out by the climactic ending to the third movement, and began to applaud, their enthusiasm quickly fading as Maazel stood sentinel waiting for hush before the fourth movement. He did not approve. Nor do I. This happens frequently at BBC Prom concerts, and yet it may mean that some people\u00a0 never have heard the music before and spontaneously show their excitement. And that can\u2019t be a bad thing.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">The other composer who seems to be on a lot of programmes just now, is Prokofiev who although regarded in his early days as a dissonant \u2018avant-garde\u2019 composer is now more closely linked to the Russian tradition of the nineteenth century nationalists. He has been described as a romantic melodist and his operatic and ballet music highlights the drama and colour of his work and his brilliant use of the orchestra. I am no music critic, but I find there is a lack of heart and warmth in what I know of his music. And yet I have been overwhelmed by his Romeo and Juliet music, as I was on this occasion when some of the extracts of the ballet suite were played. We also heard his 2nd Violin Concerto performed by Vadim Repin with the sort of cool brilliance that rather confirms my feeling about the composer\u2019s emotional detachment. \u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">B.R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were in Bristol on Sunday to hear the Philharmonia Orchestra , conducted by Lorin Maazel.
