It’s that time of the year again!
I hope this thread will be of interest to all classical music lovers and of the ‘not so classical’ themed music nights.

It looks like a good opening night with a programme that includes Ravel’s piano concerto in G major.
One of my favourites so well worth opening a bottle of chilled rosé.

I’ve just watched John Wilson’s concert and at the end, I had tears streaming down my face. Even without the Verdi and the Walton, the Respighi trilogy is such a huge and wonderful piece and I don’t think I’ve shall ever hear it played better than that. He’s such a charismatic conductor and his Sinfonia of London are simply marvellous. I would have sold my house to have been at that concert.

Happily settling down for a Spanish night at the Proms.
Anyone else?!

I very much enjoyed that, although I’m not a fan of the Rodrigo TBH. But I do love Manuel de Falla. Pity they couldn’t have fitted in Nights in the Gardens of Spain, too. Lovely sensual, captivating music.
