BBC Radio 3's Monday afternoon program included a replay of last Tuesday's Prom 16 and is available on demand until next Monday. After a slow start with a new composition having little in the way of discernible musical values(which is best fast-forwarded through), about 30 minutes in the meat of the concert began with an excellent performance of the Tchaikovsky 2nd Piano Concerto by Stephen Hough with the City of Birmingham Symphony. Following that there was a performance of the complete Stravinsky Firebird.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
