Friday Night is Music Night, as they say. And it certainly is tonight, as the first of three proms begins, early doors, at 6pm! For my part, I have finished work, run 8k, with ten minutes to spare. I run a bath and listen to the first half there. The Dukas piece, thankfully, is gentle (no Mahler tonight, thank you very much).
The Rachmaninov is, as we are told, a piano concerto in everything but name. And the piano certainly gets a working throughout the piece.
During the interval I have a quick drive out to Lidl to pick up a couple of free bakery items I've got a coupon for - one of which I am intending for consumption on the coach to London tomorrow morning. I am still listening in on the car radio. When I return to the car I have missed the first couple of notes of the Bartok, but I'm enjoying it straight away. It has various feels, from mellow to chaotic, but it's all good. I settle down into the living room for the rest of the programme, with a donut and a glass of milk.
