Prom 74: Saturday 10th September at 7.30 p.m. (Last Night of the Proms)

[Colonel Danby]

I hardly think that Bartok's Suite from 'The Miraculous Mandarin' or indeed the Immolation Scene from 'Götterdämmerung' was dumming down on the LNOTP: and I enjoyed both works enormously in the hall. But then I loved both Parry and Elgar in all their pomp and circumstance, so I suppose there is no hope for me. For goodness sakes, this was the last concert in a very long (and marvellous) season: what is wrong if the prommers are allowed to let their collective hair down?

talking of audience participation, does anyone remember (with joy, or otherwise) that Bobby McFerrin prom from 2005 where he got the audience to sing the Gounod part of the Gounod/Bach Ave Maria (while he did the Bach part)?

AND got the Vienna Phil to SING the Galop from the William Tell Overture as an encore...

I remember that Bobby McFerrin (but had forgotten about it until you said) I've got it recorded on the computer!
