Royal Albert Hall

One of my favourite venues, I just love that place.

I went there the other night for a Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
performance of Beethoven's Egmont Overture and Violin Concerto and
Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. I would have gone
just for the latter, the rest was a bonus. We got the cheapest
tickets, £5 to perch in the rafters and have a bird's eye view of the
whole venue, offered as "restricted view". In fact, we got a very
good view of the stage too (although I wasn't bothered as I'm not
really worried about that for a classical concert).
And for the first time I heard Pictures at an Exhibition live in its
classical version, rather than as played by ELP. The guys at the back (horns and percussions) looked like they were having a ball - very enjoyable :)))
