Festival Hall, RPO+Leonard Slatkin with Vaughan Williams London Symphony (No. 2). Really good, I thought. D.B. described it as "like Mahler, a bit baggy jumper. Essentially a collection of nice chords".
An old lady two rows back had a bit of a tickle in her throat. She began by coughing quietly but as the first movt. grew her cough volume grew with it, culminating in a marvellouly well timed musical/coughing crescendo.
