So Anybody Taking On The Proms.....

[DTCwordfan]

1st half interesting, especially what's going on in the satellites?

[jourdain2]

Yes, watching extremely fit people Irish dancing now! Found some bits of the programme v. hard-going. Wasn't the tenor brave to sing 'Nessum Dorma', but he has a super voice and conquered it I.M.O.

Marin must be going on adrenalin!

[Togo]

It is on here DT.the young man on the sax from Swansea was pretty good.

[DTCwordfan]

Nessun Dorma was excellent.

2H just beginning......

[DTCwordfan]

I'm not a Shostakovitch fan but that piece in 1H was pretty good, a brilliant rendition by this young Brit pianist...23, I believe....amazing to have such talent.

[DTCwordfan]

so who of the gals is falling for Johannes Kaufmann......?

[jourdain2]

I've just fallen DTC! His jacket! (sorry about typo on Nessun'). He is definitely delish - now I'm going to drift away....

[jourdain2]

They're throwing knickers - away girls! Mine will be in the post tomorrow!

[Mamyalynne]

All shivery ,my Granddad would sing "You Are My Heart's Delight" to me often.


Beautiful rendition.

[DTCwordfan]

there goes one.....he's back on later, if he makes it and jourdain hasn't got to him.....now a dose of Grieg, aah - where is Eric Morecambe...!

[tamborine]

Did it have to end with River Dance crew and that screeching cover of and I ya I ya I will always love yoooooow :(

[Elina]

Just watching now.

[DTCwordfan]

(it has to be said that this is a well-put together programme - well done, Marin Alsop, even better than your 1st time up).

[DTCwordfan]

Now 'Espagna Diva' in from la Park.........

[jourdain2]

Tamborine - change channels quickly!

[tamborine]

Not worth me setting audio/surround sound for. The tenor was strained rubbish but I liked the choir

[DTCwordfan]

she can come and visit to sing arias in my chambers......xx

[DTCwordfan]

more knickers now.......

[tamborine]

And.... I recorded it !

[paddywak]

Kaufman was on Breakfast TV talking about Nessun Dorma and how after Pavarotti's World Cup version became "The Version"he shied off singing it in public for a long time untill he felt he could do the job right.

[zebo]

I want his jacket, filled or not!
