Oh dear – assuming these two pieces were the evening as a whole in microcosm, the green movement (the underpinning science of which I’m sure you aren’t including in your “alarmist” appellation!) really wasn’t served by such manipulative dumbing-down! For all Thunberg’s youthful gaucheness, there’s actually much more nuance and sophistication in what she herself has to say, for the most part.
I actually find the music in the Pook piece more enjoyable than the other two. The voice overs are annoying, but the music is ok. The other two pieces were worth less to me, the piano concerto is the kind of thing that’s been done before and it doesn’t sound that interesting. Those who just like the style may be lenient with it.
