Music lifts us up. Cherish it. Right now, it has a lot of heavy lifting to do.

#BBCProms

Not sure how I feel about the tradition of shouting the lyrics to “RULE, BRITANNIA” at the final Prom of the season.

The participation is fine, the atmosphere is great. (Lots of EU flags too … neat!)

But that 2nd line … "Britons never will be slaves."

I mean. Is there ANY sense of history here?

No, they didn’t. No, he wasn’t. No, it didn’t. And no, it wasn’t. You’re welcome.

These patriotic anthems sound more and more ironic each year. I mean, at this point, it’s just withering sarcasm, isn’t it?

Nobuyuki Tsujii is an incredible talent and Gabriela Ortiz a fine composer. But if Prom 70 was a mixtape I would have chucked it out of the window #HangTheDJ #BBCProms

Bernstein. Like someone chucked a sweetened fish head aspic into the center of an otherwise perfectly good dinner. #BBCProms

Posting about the new #PublicServiceBroadcasting album again, because I've listened to it several times today, and am absolutely in love with it.

The reworking of Lit Up is stunningly beautiful. Never more have I wished that I could have been at a recording than this one.

Christ, the brass at the end of A Candle Which Will Not Be Put Out has just made every hair on my body stand up.

Just sublime.

#PublicServiceBroadcasting #BBCProms

Brilliant first show by Rufus. Chills at the Want Overture. Some beautiful arrangements ( and some slightly eccentric ones too ) Rufus in fine voice. The BBC Concert Orchestra brilliant as usual. The Royal Albert is hot. Bring on Want Two! #bbcproms #RufusWainwright

@keefeglise it was a fascinating broadcast tonight - the first half was a dramatised account of the creation of the work, with actors voicing those involved and the orchestra illustrating their points.

And the second half was a powerful performance of the work. Very impressive, without the score to help them count!

Now that is one #BBCProms that I didn’t want to end. Northern Soul. They should do it again.

He's trying but the orchestra is still better than the singer. #BBCProms

So @Troggie has just noted that there's an awful lot of white people on the stage doing an awful lot of black music, and, well, yeah... #BBCProms

I have to admit, my knowledge of Northern is limited, but that last had quite a bit of Walker Brothers about it.
