Hi classicgal,

Did you go? I did and was really rather disappointed by the whole event. I've never been before and I realise that it is in part designed for the TV as well but the whole thing seemed quite flat. Sarah Brightman was the biggest disappointment of the evening. She royally ruined Pie Jesu! But I was relieved to see that Sir Colin Davis won Best Male and Steven Isserlis, the Critics' Choice. Oh well, we'll see what next year brings!!
