On the other hand I saw a prom concert on TV last week with the Zurich Symphony Orchestra under David Zimman playing a truly magical and moving Beethoven 'Pastoral' Symphony and a really witty and clever Swiss themed encore that completely made, not just my day, but my week.
The concert didn't get away scot free, there were two BBC presenters and the female presenter came close to ruining it for me. Her face was blank and expressionless (botox?) except for a rictus smile and she kept interrupting the male presenter when he was speaking saying totally inane things like 'Oh, yes' and similar supportive but pointless comments. I do not want eye-candy women with feather minds presenting the proms, I want the women we have had in previous years, mobile faces, intelligent and able to make a useful contribution to discussion about the orchestra, conductor and the piece to be performed - oh, and attractive to.
