John Cage’s silent piece, as performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican Centre:
Things to cherish about this: that it was performed by a serious orchestra, in such a serious manner and a serious setting; that the BBC broadcast it (who else would?); that it was given the same serious treatment that any other work would get; but that almost everyone involved, including, perhaps especially the conductor, can see the humour in it.
