For archival purposes, the full set list of this Late Night Prom from The Glasshouse is archived, which means that, yes, I listened to this Prom so that the rest of you don't have to :) .

I'd actually never listened to "Night Tracks" on R3 before, perhaps out of an intuitive sense that it wasn't really my thing. Assuming that this live version is typical of the regular show, my intuition proved justified. For folks who are into the show's chill vibe, this Prom from The Glasshouse did the job, and very well. I should be fair and say that the four guest musicians are all excellent musicians. While I wouldn't be inclined to return, as once was sufficient, it was good for what it was.

I have just had 15mins of unwanted Glasshouse (maybe some kind soul could throw a few stones) but surely this material belongs on R2 - prom 3 seems never ending + to me utterly tedious - I suspect will lose the promised Schubert.

I've just posted on the Grumble thread about this. So much for "the home of Classical music "eh?
