As much as I agree with your review of Helen Grime’s piece, I also think it is ridiculous that the BBC put the performance of Beethoven’s 9th on iplayer but replaced Grime’s 15-minute work that started the concert with Tom Service being excited for some minutes and an interview with Anna Lapwood of all people.
Yeah, that is crap – I have been following on iPlayer and had no idea Grime was performed.

Yup, completely agree Simon. But the best ‘new’ piece I’ve heard so far in the Proms was Ivan Karabits’ Concerto for Orchestra No. 1 – full of unexpected twists and turns and highly memorable.

Thanks for the recommendation Tom, it’s a piece i’ve already flagged up to check out.
