Fireworks

I’m always surprised by new sights at the Fireworks Concert. This year, the spiralling around the castle.

Musically, the unfamilar Overture to Ruslan And Ludmila, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and three fifths of Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, which seems like an odd choice even if the three pieces are quite different. The only time I remember the whole concert playing one piece was Pictures At An Exhibition in 2013.

Inevitably with loud bangy classical music, unless I have a strong reason not to such as a different association like Apprentice, I start thinking of Star Wars scene ideas....
