Well that was great fun,in the first movement of the Bartok the first violinist got a nose bleed and had to leave the stage for about six or seven minutes.He returned with a roll of tissue in his nostril,as the second movement proceeded it got redder and redder,between movements he changed it and again in the next break,this time the tissue was about six inches long.
Felt really sorry for them and they made a grand job of each separate section but did lose the overall arch of the piece,shame they are a young band.
Can't wait to see how Radio 3 handle the recording on Saturday.
