A majestic Verdi’s Requiem in suitably majestic surroundings, plus the best of October’s classical concerts
- Verdi’s Requiem has long since shed its subtitle “for the anniversary of the death of Alessandro Manzoni”, and with that we have lost our understanding of how an atheist could have composed a religious masterpiece. The most successful Italian novelist of his day, Manzoni was a symbol of national pride. In commemorating him, Verdi emerged with renewed vigour from a period of creative silence. When he issued his pleas to “hear my prayer” and “free me from eternal death”, he may not have been addre

First Night of the Proms 2021, Royal Albert Hall, review: Emerging from hibernation, this festival has rarely seemed so thrilling
By the skin of their teeth, the Proms are with us, live and in-person. It was a close-run thing. The fear was that for the second year in a row the Proms would be a sad ghostly affair, broadcast to online audiences only. Then came the joyous news that there would be a six-week season of nightly Proms for an audience of 1,000. Last week came the even more joyous news that the Proms would be running at full capacity.

Last Night of the Proms 2020 review, Royal Albert Hall: What the nation needs right now isn’t a culture war, it’s a tonic, and the BBC provided it brilliantly
A triumphant, over-emotional and silly celebration of eight weeks of musical glories; that’s what the Last Night of the Proms should be. But this year, there was precious little to celebrate. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuing lockdown, the Proms season has been a sad affair. True, we’ve enjoyed a full eight-week season. But three-quarters of it was a rehash of Proms from the archive, and the “live” broadcasts of the past two weeks in the empty space of the Albert Hall have had a muted
