Bangs for your Buck - The Battle Proms at Highclere Castle.

Andrew Benson-Wilson, 30th July

I have to confess that an event like this is not within my normal musical radar. My music reviewing and listening is predominantly serious classical, and most of it is for a specialist part of that wide repertoire. So it was a slightly brave, or foolhardy, idea to offer to review one of these musical spectaculars at my local castle.
