  Please do not describe this as 'Classical Music'. Not only is it low grade minimalist tripe, but it would be better being played as background sounds such as lift situations or dentists waiting rooms rather than using a very professional orchestra such as the BBC Phil to 'play' it.

  Right on David. Dubyawn indeed. Nondescript, unimaginative, devoid of creativity. Pseudo chamber music by geezers used to having a computer do it all for them. Composing Tools in Sibelius anyone? Bravo BBC, promoting mediocrity in the arts once again.

  Well, it's inevitable that some purists/fans from both sides ('classical' & dubstep) aren't going to be open-minded enough to accept it.
  
  I reckon it's the way forward! With stuff like this and the Daft Punk's 'Tron' soundtrack, orchestras should collaborate with electronic artists more often...

  I have to agree with ayeaye01.
  
  It sounded like an overture to a symphony rather than the symphony itself. Would have liked to have heard more interaction between the traditional dubstep rhythms and sounds and the orchestra - thought they were going somewhere with it at one point and then it just sort of died away.
  
  Overall, really disappointing I'm afraid. 10 out of 10 for effort, but only 5 marks for execution.

  Can only agree Matt with the last comment. I felt as if It was building to something that never materialized. Sounded good but in a film sound track sort of way. The ending sounded like the music they use on the Doctor Who trailers for the BBC. Have they thought about going into film work.

  Combining Dub with Classical music isn't that groundbreaking unfortunately. Back in 2008 NZ legends Salmonella Dub produced an outstanding live concert at the Christchurch town hall with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. I'm glad that Radio 1 is bringing it to the masses though, even if it isn't perfect, it so much more interesting than the usual production line pop being constantly churned out at the moment. If you want to see Salmonella Dub and the NZSO in action, check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17a2GaeL52I or get yourself a copy of the album "Feel The Seasons Change"

  Genuinely disappointed by this after so much hype. The entire piece seemed completely disjointed with no flow, rhythm and worst of all... no drop!
  
  What exactly was the point of Nero being there? They just stood at the back looking completely lost.
  
  As a piece of modern classical music it was unremarkable, as a dubstep / classical fusion it just didn't work at all. Disappointing on so many levels.

  it's neither dubstep nor classical, it's a COVER of dubstep done by a philharmonic orchestra and it's wonderful =) why should music ever have to be defined by rigid genres anyway, that defeats the purpose of artistic expression. i happen to think classical instruments and dubstep can accompany one another beautifully, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7mWUEjHM5c&feature=related

  I've got to agree with David. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE dubstep, but I have also studied music as a degree, I am open minded about all music and I have a rule myself that if it sounds good, it is good. This however didn't sound that good to me. And it definitely wasn't a clash of genres as others have described it. I was really excited to hear this and was half expecting something similar to Venetian Snares' "Rossz csillag alatt született" album, however I think this was a slight disappointment for me :/ to put it simply, it was boring.

  Ok here's my thoughts: Nero focus far too much on lfo manipulation rather than harmonic and melodic content and therefore its harder to transfer it to an orchestra with out loosing something. Now Gully Brook Lane or even Tron by Joker orchestrated would sound much better as it is far more melodic and harmonic. It would also need to keep the slightly stravinskesque darkness and aggressiveness, just with less gaps. Hopefully he will gain some more credit when his LP comes out as its rumoured he has put a few more mainstream aimed tracks amongst all the epic synth work. On a side note I guess it can be hit and miss with these things Roni Size playing at the Colston Hall was epic though maybe get that guy during the arrangements and conducting. This comment is just speculative constructive criticism and trying to find out why I felt a bit bored and agreed to some extent with some of the dismissive comments. I do understand that organising orchestras takes a lot of hard work and a lot of money and I'm glad they experimented with it.
