Thanks for the extra clarification Phillip. I'm caught up in conductor technique (though the juice is in the rehearsals) so I watch wth wild abandon, but I appreciate where you're coming from....a purely aural experience.

Today's pop experience is robo spots, lasers, confetti canons, video walls, and other optional elements such as pyrotechnics and drones. They are big, over the top shows. Who doesn't want to be "blown away?"

Classical groups have been looking for acceptable ways to 'pump up' the experience such as doing more concerts with popular artists, accompanying movies with heavy orchestral scores, or performing concerts of arranged music from video games. I'd much rather have a bit more exuberance on stage from our standard classical performers than any of that other stuff, but that's just me.
