Product Description

Album Description

The Proms showcases the best classical music artists and ensembles from around the UK and abroad, playing a mixture of popular favourites and newly commissioned premières, and is now the largest classical music festival in the world. This recording presents some of the popular classics that have become associated with the 'Last Night' of the Proms celebrations. The finale to the Proms series has become a riotous affair, with large crowds of people enjoying this less-formal approach to concert-going, by waving flags, clapping, cheering and generally enjoying the patriotic party atmosphere. The style of the Last Night concert ahs been recreated across the world.

The title of the disc is "The Last Night of the Proms". The cover shows people on the floor of the Albert Hall during that same event. This disc, on the other hand, is of music "associated" with that event, but recorded in studios. I'm not sending it back because it's not worth my time to go to the Post Office. It completely lacks the spirit of the Last Night.

I wanted this to remember the Proms in the Park, but it is not a live proms recording as the cover picture suggests.

No "life" here 8 Jan 2012
By W. Jackson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Don't know how EMI managed to mess this one up, but right-o mate. Dry, digitalis sound lacking any semblance of real performance in real hall. Somehow great pieces by world-class orchestra manage to sound lifeless. Example: Piano spread across sound-stage as wide and loud as the orchestra in the Gershwin, high piano notes come from the right and low notes from the left--the pianist is seated with his/her back to the audience at concerts? Horns get clammy. Others of similar title managed to get the essence of performance down, in contrast.
