BBC Proms 2012 John Wilson on Broadway

[@annerowley6047]

I can't see and hear enough of John Wilson's orchestra and certainly agree the only smiling conductor , obviously enjoying himself every time we see him . The old Musicals so enjoyable . The best singers too. He has to be the best conductor of our time . BRILLIANT !!!

[@michaelmalamy4204]

The music, the Orchestra, the amazing conductor all make me feel young again. Can’t believe today’s young people are missing it and for what?

[@SebastiaoLeite-hv6cq]

ABSOLUTE TREASURE !!! A WONDERFULL AND ENCHANTED TIME MACHINE !!! 😂❤😂

[@Fif4freedom]

We were in the Albert Hall for this concert - it was an even more exciting experience than the video. I have never experienced anything like the explosion of applause and shouts of delight when “Mame” finished - it must have blown all the volume controls in the BBC sound mixing panels. When the world seems full of hatred I turn to this video and remember what glorious things people can achieve when they work together.

I wish I had an answer to your question. For me, people are people, no matter who or what they worship, their skin color, sexual orientation, or other qualities that so many people use as benchmarks for their judgment. I think it's a shame that the arts are so despised today because they speak directly to the humanity we seem to be losing at an alarming rate. I think all we can do is try to be decent people, and perhaps others will model that behavior and learn tolerance and kindness.

Isn't it wonderful, exceptional, to see and hear and orchestra where it feels as if the entire ensemble enjoys the music they are playing, how they are playing it, and the conductor who is leading them? You rarely hear a major symphony orchestra where the players are so dedicated to playing at their best. It isn't perfection for perfection's sake so much as precision and professionalism in the English tradition. John Wilson is responsible not only for the lavish arrangements, but for a spirit that imbues the orchestra and chorus. A marvel.
