Summary of Prom at the Palace - The Queen's Concerts, Buckingham Palace
This spectacular DVD features highlights from the Queen's Jubilee Concert "Prom at the Palace" held in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. Featuring: Roberto Alagna, Angela Gheorghiu, Mstislav Rostropovich, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, The London Adventist Chorale, Sir Thomas Allen, Julian Bliss, Ashley Wass, Roberto Bolle, Zenaida Yanowsky, Sir Andrew Davis and more!One of the most remarkable things about this recording of the Queen's Golden Jubilee Prom at the Palace--quite apart from the musical goodies on offer--is the opportunity to glimpse inside the royal garden, and see what Her Majesty's principal home looks like from the back. Voyeurism aside, director Bob Coles also catches the palpable sense of occasion and excitement that surrounds the concert, with some swooping camera angles and exciting crowd shots. The music is a mix of classical favorites (Zadok the Priest, "Jupiter" from The Planets, Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks) and a few lesser-known items.
The outdoor acoustic is generally handled well, and the soloists all sound wonderful; Angela Gheorghiu stops the show with a passionate account of "Vissi d'Arte" (from Tosca) and 13-year-old clarinetist Julian Bliss gives a remarkably assured performance of Messager's Solo de Concours. Occasionally the BBC Symphony Orchestra loses concentration, but overall this is a fine souvenir of a historic concert. All profits from the sale of the DVD will be donated to the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Trust. --Warwick Thomson
