Prommers pour out of the Royal Albert Hall following an electrifying performance of Stravinsky's The Firebird. The Royal Albert Hall was packed this evening, and what a concert it was! Tchaikovsky's 2nd Piano Concerto was a particular revelation, and the buzz among the Prommers is: why on earth is it such an unknown work? All they know is that they want to hear it again and again. And then, as if that wasn't enough, the CBSO under new music director Andris Nelsons pulled off a stunning Firebird in the second half. All in all, a top concert. If you missed it, listen again here.
