Well, summer's officially here at last (ignore the weather, it's
just a glitch) - tonite is the First Night Of The Proms! So all of
you who like pop music and have systems good enough can tune in and
enjoy the experience of a 'real live event' without the hassle and
expense of actually attending it!! ;-)

(Although I have to say it, if my kit sounded as bad as the PA'd
'live' event that I experienced at the RAH a few weeks back it would
be out on the back lawn in a heap, by now......)



Will be giving my new tuner a good testing tonight :-)

At seven thirty tonight the proms start, on radio 3, to kick it off
is



Bach/Henry Wood: Toccata and Fugue in D minor

Elgar: The Music Makers

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson (mezzo-soprano)
Martin Neary (organ)
BBC Symphony Chorus
BBC Symphony Orchestra
Leonard Slatkin (conductor)

Have you heard the Albert Hall organ since they rebuilt it?
Incredible!

No thats what I am wanting to hear

Just played my cd and vinyl copies of Toccata and Fugue in D minor

to get in the spirit

OK, the Beeb have pulled this one off big time. Fabulous imaging, and
a real sense of presence. If I have a slight criticism, it is that
they have left the hall out of the audio picture a bit. Come to think
of it, this is the Albert Hall, so again, well done Beeb!
