i was gladly surprised by the applause at the end. 4'33'' is a clever, meaningfull piece by john cage, and this was quite a nice remake, done with passion and honesty.
the conductor and musicians acted respectfully, not at all as if they were trying to pull a joke on the audience - and for sure that was why the audience reacted in an equaly respectfull way.
grats!
PS: "please do not clap between the movements" was a nice touch ;]

I would be pissed as all-get-out if i had to sit through that when i was expecting a real 3 movements, not some rip-off scam that's somehow regarded as art. I can't believe people actually applaud when they finish, it's not even a display of talent or skill, just some waste of time displaying something everyone already knows. "there is no such thing as total ambiance"
there could be silence, only achieved by reaching 0 Kelvin

one of the best performances i've seen so far :)
letting the audience understand what's going on is extremely important to the piece. and it's something often ignored by many people.
