Watched a classical choral piece at the weekend that our fabulous neighbour Scotty was in - he was great, the choir was wonderful. the solo singers looked particualarly bored, the orchestra seemed very good (not knowing a lot about the classical music world I will defer to others - but they seemed good and I didnt hear anything too off key)
Anyway, the point I wanted to ponder was all to do with the conductor.
At the part of the first movement when he started fiddling with his trousers that seemed to be slipping it didnt seem to make any difference to what the band played. Indeed, other than the choir few people on stage were evening looking at him.
So what difference does he make on stage?
Would it all have been as good without him?
Answers on a postcard please to the usual address.
PS the gig was a bit too long, the Town Hall was too hot and the seats were bloody terrible.
