Audience responce

Question?
I am about to be 75 years old. Started going to classical concerts when I was 13 years old. My father taught me not to applaud between movements of a classical work because it interrupted the flow of the music and showed a lack of sophistication. In the last 10 years both in Sarasota and San antonio this applauding has become common. Especially at the end of the first movement. Is this now the new norm? I remember once as some people at a Chicago Symphony concert conducted by Solti some members applauded at the conclusion of a first movement.
Solti turned and faced the audience, gave them a dirty look and waved his finger indicating no no no
