In a few moments a very promising Prom is due to start on the radio - BBC - Proms - Prom Events by Day. A Mozart Piano Concerto. I do Mozart by numbers, and as it's a high number it's probably worth a listen. After the interval is Schuman''s 3rd - Rhenish - Symphony. Listen to the depiction of the towering grandeur of Cologne Cathedral. Also the statutory new work by an obscure male composer.
It finishes at 9.30 which gives meover an hour to heave my carcass into the next room for the all Mozart special on the TV. Sadly, it will be introduced by Alan "At least he's not Jade Goody" Titchmarsh, but a feast of singers singing songs. Got rather mixed reviews; some members of the mmofm crowd were there, including a token SOSSLED-er on duty at the Stage Door, whilst some of the others were Terfeling on Hampstead Heath
