Prom 36 - 13.08.14: VW/Alwyn Prom, BBC SO, Jansen / Oramo

[EdgeleyRob]

One of the most tempting concerts of the season, this, for me. I've heard 'Job' live in the RAH before... Oramo in this music is a most intriguing prospect - and an Alwyn Symphony !!

EDIT - just picked up a nicely-placed late return for this one: Wednesday evening wasn't free till today. And now it isn't again. Can't wait!

E-Rob - can you make it?

Alas no.

Nice programme, though why sandwiching Alwyn 1 between the Wasps and the Lark?
It has obviously escaped the attention of Mr W that Alwyn 1-4 are to be considered as one symphony in 16 mvts.
Whatever. having the Alwyn and Job in one concert is not bad at all, atually, it's a kind of bliss

A quarter of Alwyn 1 is better than nothing I suppose Roehre

I shall be at this one too. I checked yesterday evening to see what seats were left and it looked as if there were only a couple left in the Stalls (did you get those Caliban?) which surprised me a little, I have to say.
Although I'd like to think that people are coming for the Alwyn - a long-time favourite of mine ever since Lyrita issued the 5 symphonies back in the 70's - I presume it is the VW offerings that have attracted the crowd.

It would be nice to think so,let's hope it converts a few to this marvelous composer.

For me this THE stand out concert of the Proms (arnell of a programme).

An Alwyn symphony? Did I read right?

I think they're criminal, and the perpetraters should be locked up; four or five per cell.

Be my holst!

I don't think that you should encourage such behaviour, Cali. In fact, as a host, you should Barrett. I make myself clear; I'm not hinton.

Or perhaps: fair enough...

No - I tried earlier, too. ("Hoddinot" with "had enough" was no more successful).

Or perhaps: fair enough...

Oh! Much better!
