Review: HOME ALONE IN CONCERT, Royal Albert Hall
Many people say that Christmas does not begin until they hear Mariah Carey's “All I Want For Christmas Is You” belted out from a radio or in a department store. Surely more heartwarming is John Williams’ 'Somewhere in My Memory', the wistful main theme from that-most-Christmassy-of films, Home Alone? As part of the Royal Albert Hall’s Films in Concert series, the festive classic is brought beautifully to life.
