Music For The Day

“Midnight” from the Cinderella Suite by Sergei Prokofiev:

 

An excellent and dramatic depiction of the clock striking midnight at the ball.

I had the pleasure of seeing the London Symphony Orchestra perform the entire ballet score at their recent BBC Proms concert the other night – as usual, they were on top form, particularly the woodwind section and the excellent and surprising offstage brass ensemble that played from the balcony during one particularly exciting section.

A review of the performance can be found here.
