BBC Proms 2008
on: August 10, 2008, 12:13:08 AM
Has anyone been following these? I don't live in England, but I have been trying to find as many recordings and/or videos of them as I can. The two highlights for me so far are the First Night of the Proms and the Messiaen La Transfiguration. Surely some of you have been following this fantastic festival.

I'll go to a few when I get back.  Looking forward to Perahia's Mozart 24.

Well, I watched last Saturday's 'jazz' prom, and although most of the music was well played I just couldn't get over how awful the comentators on the TV were. Since when did Bernstein write 'American in Paris'?
