No thread on this yet ... Does that mean everyone else thought the new 'Doctor Atomic' Symphony was as boring as I did?

Was anyone else there?

It didn't hold my attention at all, I had the broadcast on but quickly got sidetracked onto other things such as reading this site etc. I did think at one point that it sounded pretty much like a Bernard Herrmann film score.

Both John Adams did what you'd expect - chug chug chug.  I could have done with a bit more gym in the rolls and bomb in the symphony.

The Copland was not an auspicious start to the concert.
