BWW Review: LAST NIGHT OF THE PROMS, Royal Albert Hall
The Last Night of the Proms is the culmination of the world's biggest musical festival. It's less a concert, more a cultural experience. The Royal Albert Hall is transformed with flags, banners, balloons and a tangible party atmosphere. The occasional glimpse of an inflatable flamingo or helium parrot just added to the evening's charm and eccentricity.

New Recording Pairs Nimrod Borenstein And Janacek Piano Works
