| Last Night Line-up | ...Critics have been arguing about whether the Last Night should be abolished in its present form for decades. In this final programme, Leonard Slatkin looks back at some of the milestones - such as conductor Sir Colin Davis advocating change in 1967, ANDRE PREVIN saying how inspired he'd been by attending the event in the 70s, and composer Malcolm Arnold talking about the work he wrote to try and provide an alternative to the Last Night favourites, which never caught on. We hear the critical views of Tim Ashley from The Guardian, who feels the Last Night in its present form should be scrapped and be replaced with a more grand, fitting climax to the festival. Singing 'jingoistic' songs with the cloud of the Iraq war hanging in the air, he says, is unacceptable. John Deathridge, in contrast, feels the sense of security offered by unchanging tradition outweighs the disadvantages. One intriguing question needs to be answered by those who want to see an end to the present character of the Last Night - could the brand which is now so successful around the world survive without there being a continuing Royal Albert Hall tradition?... |
