I thought she was great and the overall programme was one of my favourites of this year's Proms. Really good balance with the Part and the Sibelius.

Interestingly, Martin Kettle in The Guardian lambasted her for being too theatrical. I'm not familiar with his commentary on the arts, only on politics. Was never impressed with him then and not impressed with him now.
That strikes me as a very strange criticism when it's such a dramatic piece of music anyway - must be hard to play without some theatrics. Eric Morecambe tried it and everybody laughed at him.

I missed the first Part of the concert (d'ye see what I did there?) but I did enjoy the Sibelius as well.

It's Brahms and Liszt Hungarian Dances next Friday - should be fun.
