New work too loud for orchestra

A German orchestra has dropped a composition from its programme after its members claimed the music was so loud that it gave them ear problems and headaches. The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (BR) said it had little choice but to drop the world premiere of Swedish-Israeli composer Dror Feiler’s Halat Hisar (State of Siege).
