Re: Bands, orchestras and playing on the beat

I have recently heard from several independent sources that orchestras play -behind- the beat. My question is 'Why?'. Watching Sir Colin Davis conduct Sibelius 2 last night particularly brought it home to me. What I saw was The Beat, then, afterwards, the sting bows & timp sticks started to move, the start of the sound being synchronous with the start of physical movement from the orchestra. You could see mics all round the orchestra, so the sound from instrument to mic was only 2 or 3 metres at most. Any time delay there would be negligible.
