I've made a deliberate decision to try and watch as much of the BBC Proms as I can this year, on the grounds that when I've come across it by accident I've tended to like it (I've got Holst, Shostakovitch, Satie, Debussy and Elgar CDs in my record collection). Tonight is Russian night, with a performance of Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible which I keep breaking off to watch while typing this. It's actually really good stuff.
