Awkward! The moment a jarring mobile phone ringtone made top pianist stop concert
As the crowd muttered in disapproval, Zacharias, who was onstage with a full orchestra, said: "Don't answer. Let it ring"
Hearing a phone ring during a classical concert would put any performer off - and pianist Christian Zacharias is no different.
The world-famous German maestro was playing Haydn's 'Piano Concerto' at the grand Gothenburg Concert Hall, Sweden, earlier this week, when he found himself playing over an unwelcome musical accompaniment.
Just a few notes of the digital ringtone echoed through the hall before Zacharias halted his performance.
As the crowd muttered its disapproval the pianist, who was onstage with a full orchestra, told his fellow musicians: "Don't answer. Let it ring."

After a few more excruciating seconds the ringing stopped and Zacharias calmly continued.
Speaking after the concert he said: "If you are in a big moment and the orchestra is playing and you hear it faintly in the distance something, I mean you just go on.
"But if the music comes to this moment where it is getting more and more silent and more magic and then this thing starts - then of course it doesn't stop - then I say no.
