'It packs a punch, but is still full of its colourful fantasy and high-flown register. The music is similarly bold, even occasionally gaudy: the whole thing could be #VaughanWilliams declaring “go big or go home”' @bernardhughes.bsky.social enjoys choral epic #SanctaCivitas at #FirstNightoftheProms

I'm a bit late to the party. Thank goodness for #iPlayer 😁 - loving this - had the wonderful #Mendelssohn and now on this incredible #Sibelius love the #FirstNightoftheProms

Loved the First Night of the BBC Proms, especially the premiere of Errollyn Wallen's atmospheric 'Elements' (see below) and the beautiful Vaughan Williams setting of verses from Revelation, 'Sancta Civitas'.

#FirstNightOfTheProms The Elements turns out to be excellent 👏

#FirstNightOfTheProms I wish they'd stop plugging that stupid Traitors prom. Loads of tickets available. People are not interested.

#FirstNightOfTheProms 1st half review
Georgia coming across really well
Petroc too loud tonight (isn't as loud as that on the radio)
Nick Mohamed an absolute delight- his genuine love for music shining through. His Spiegal Am Spiegal in Ted Lasso was amazing.

Loving the Sibelius on #firstnightoftheproms
Very much looking forward to heading to the #proms next Thursday and Friday evening.

I am constantly overawed by the consummate artistry and skill of the musicians on the Proms #Firstnightoftheproms #BBC and I cannot tell you enough about how important music is in life

Beautiful piece, Mendelssohn’s Fingal’s cave…. One of my favourites

#FirstNightOfTheProms straight from the overture to the Hebrides. Well played Sakari!

#FirstNightOfTheProms I hate the coverage already.

#FirstNightOfTheProms at least it's live this year.

#FirstNightOfTheProms TV simulcast with Radio 3, is it?
