As a former member of the Phil for 30+ years, I have very much enjoyed the last 2 concerts; I feel that the orchestra is very much on the up, a tribute to the conductor.
However, I have a few comments on the introductions. It is good to establish a rapport with the audience, and Natalia’s personality came over well. But to me, and somme people to whom i spoke, they were much too long , and interfered with the general flow of the concert. Also, the material seemed unsuitable for a for the typical concert goer, who is likely to be familiar with the material. It did not help to see people looking bored.
It would be good to continue this experiment, but I think 3 minutes should be the maximum. A longer discourse would be more suited to a pre concert talk, so that people can choose to go or not.
I look forward to the next concert.
Yours, Roger Collison
