I rather like the Proms. We marked the exact anniversary of Britain’s declaration of the First World War a hundred years ago. Samuel West read from Wilfred Owen’s Anthem for Doomed Youth and Peter Phillips conducted the Tallis Scholars in Tavener’s The Lamb as part of 14-18 NOW’s Lights Out at the BBC Proms. For all those who were unable to prom on Tuesday 4 August, here is a video online. Lights Out at the BBC Proms 2014I should perhaps confess that I did not prom, in the sense that I had a seat. One critic damned this particular prom as 'manufactured spirituality', and two girls who were sitting in front of me did walk out, although not necessarily because I was sitting behind them! To be honest, I was a little relieved, as they could not stop talking to one another during the performance! The Daily Telegraph - BBC Prom 25, Tallis Scholars, review: 'manufactured spirituality'I was not convinced that the spirituality was manufactured! Writing in ' The Guardian', George Hall reported that two works by John Tavener featured in this late-night Prom given by the Tallis Scholars under their founder-director, Peter Phillips. Both were written for the choir. The Guardian - Prom 25: Tallis Scholars/Phillips review – sheer sonic beautyIf you can tune into BBC Four (television), Sydney, you can watch the whole prom on Sunday. I commend it to everyone reading ' The Third'! BBC Four (television) - The Sunday Prom: John Tavener PremiereAny other favourites?

. . . it is clearly an attempt by the BBC on global domination. It is certainly curious, kc. Where is the money we ask.

If I may address your question directly, Sydney: . . . it is clearly an attempt by the BBC on global domination. It is certainly curious, kc. Where is the money we ask. This is a good question. The BBC Proms are financed principally through the television licence fee, although it does distort the classical music market. Blog - How the BBC is distorting the classical music marketBBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC, which makes an annual profit of more than £100 million on sales of over a billion, financed the Australian Proms, in a local partnership with ABC Classic FM. This was an experiment, but in future, I suspect that the money will have to come from the sale of the broadcasting rights. The BBC seeks to turn the world’s largest classical music festival into an international brand. To be honest, I suspect that the Australians would probably be better off doing their own thing, Sydney!
