An outstanding performance
by borey on 5/8/18New Jersey Performing Arts Center - NewarkLondon Symphony is an amazing orchestra, and Sir Simon Rattle is one of the best conductors of our time. Their rendition of Mahler’s 9th symphony was brilliant. The only problem was the audience (which thought it appropriate to clap after every movement and consumed snacks in rustling packages during the performance as if this were a baseball game). I honestly don’t know why any musician would want to perform in a venue that’s only half filled up (at best!) even for the best concerts and that attracts people who think nothing of eating potato chips during the concert.
