Hi Paul,
 
I was once told that this "English" tradition was amongst the recording  
orchestras (i.e. BBC because of something to do with mike placement and/or 
early  
recording techniques.
 
I didn't think they used this seating plan when they were perfoming  live.
 
Cheers, (and ready to be corrected)
 
Lawrence
