BBC Proms 2008

G and I enjoyed three BBC Proms performances this week, including the comfort, views and 98% discount on the price of a Grand Tier box at the Royal Albert Hall.

I have no idea how to review classical music and I’m not going to try now. All I’ll write is that Proms 37 and 38 were excellent (with the exception of the UK premiere of Hillborg’s very weird Clarinet Concerto), Daniel Barenboim truly is a maestro and I should really have picked-up the transcript for Prom 39 (which featured a story spoken in French).

I have applied for tickets for the Last Night of the Proms, so I have everything crossed.
