With so much controversy over this year’s ‘Last Night at the Proms’, it is easy to forget that there will be many other promenade concerts taking place which we never hear about. last year I went with my son, Andrew, to one of those concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. It was a good evening. I enjoyed the Tchaikovsky. But it was the ‘specially commissioned’ piece which I could not get into. It was just too abstract. Whatever happened to melody?
