Just finished listening to a replay of the Prom 31 concert which took place earlier Saturday evening in London. The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, conducted by Vassily Petrenko, appeared and on the first part of the program Stephen Hough was featured in an excellent performance of Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto. Following intermission the Lutoslawski Concerto for Orchestra(only moderately interesting in my view)was played, and the the very colorful Roman Festivals by Respighi concluded the concert with a bang. This finished the traversal of all three Roman Poems by Respighi at the Proms, and the Pines of Rome in Prom 29 and Fountains of Rome in Prom 30 are also worth a listen.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
