Well I am sitting outside the Albert Hall in of the Albert Memorial before the first night of the BBC Proms and because of the delights of mobile blogging I can tell you all about it as it happens.
It is my first live 'First Night' and very enjoyable so far. First up was William Walton and Portsmouth Point . A decent rousing start to the evening. A change of pace next with Edward Elgar and his Cello Concerto in E. The first time I have the pleasure of hearing it live and a very enjoyable and moving experience it was. After the interval the final piece was Beethoven Symphony No. 9. What a truly excellent performance, especially by the BBC Symphony Chorus. So my first live Prom and a really evening and tomorrow Prom 2 is a complete change with music from Great British Films. I will let you know how it goes.
