BBC Proms 2014: Dove, Mason and Ranjbaran

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  02 January 2015

Extract

Its nature as a festival that is fundamentally about standard orchestral repertoire means that the Proms continues to exhibit a slippery relationship with new music. Challenging works still appear to be sidelined while showy, more conservative pieces end up in prime slots with big audiences. Whether or not this is the right way round remains open to debate and, indeed, the bustle of social media has provided an interesting platform this year for discussion around the issue.
