		Part of the problem was the preliminary speech by conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, who quite rightly put the focus on the violin in use by the symphony's concertmaster, Alexander Barantchik, who teamed with the Israel-born soloist Gil Shaham for the Bach.

		Several of the benefactors who made this happen were in the audience to be publicly thanked, and this being the first time the public had heard the violin with the symphony, it's understandable that the big finish of the first movement would draw applause.
