Work: Poème symphonique

Ligeti, Grieg, Beethoven and 100 metronomes offer an unusual combination from the Ulster Orchestra in Belfast.

To judge by the continued chatter, no-one noticed 100 metronomes on stage being set in motion, signalling the beginning of György Ligeti’s Poème symphonique (1962). Even when the lights were dimmed it only dawned on people slowly that the concert had actually already begun.
