I have just returned from London after last night's Philharmonia performance at The Royal Festival Hall.
It really was fantastic and for £8 the seats we had in that venue were phenomenal value for money.
The playlist was Berlioz: Overture - Le carnivale romain; Rachmaninov - Piano Concerto #3 and Tchiakovsky - Symphony #6.
The pianist delighted us with Chopin's Nocturne #20 as an encore.
I'm back again at the end of September for a trio of Mozart and next February for another round of Rachmaninov (Piano concerto 2 and the Symphonic Dances.) Performed by the London Philharmonic with the great Estonian Jene Jarvi conducting.
I urge any of you to get down to the South bank centre as often as you can. Tickets from £8 you can't go wrong, considering what those cheap £8 tickets actually get you.
