It's not techno, but I it's mindblowingly emotive nonethesame.
There's some pretty awesome stuff on at the Proms this year - have I been able to go I would have loved to have got to this; I thoroughly recommend you have something to chill you out and space you out a bit, get into a dangerously warm bath and wade through this 2.5 hour spesh. Watching is worth it as well - the crazy Russian piano-soloist for the Prokofiev piece is worth a look at - nutcase.

There was also a little recital of Chopin's nocturnes that was more relaxing than Xanax, but I can't find it on iPlayer any more...
Hurry! Only there for a very short while!
Lovely post Benters. Loving that Russian soloist. Claaaassic stuff.
