I'd forgotten but switched on just as Lark Ascending was starting. I love the lead violinists dress and hair, she looks great. Sorry to be superficial she's obviously a very talented violinist.

Isn't it strange though, with no audience. Theres something particularly sad about Last Night in this pandemic

DH just woke up.

This is just lovely - The Lark Ascending.
I'm enjoying the scenery too.

Nicola Benedetti has just walked on. grin

Me too Phoenix, Last Night without the audience is a bit of a lame duck. Himself has just taken charge and changed channels.

I'm determined to enjoy it despite whatever measures have had to be taken to comply with Covid regulations. I have to say the bassoonist looks very cool and trendy!

As Richard Cole has just said, 'What a joy to be able to hear live music again.'

Watching, but feel a bit sad, the (necessary) gaps between members of the orchestra, plus lack of audience make for a very different Proms.
