      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.

They don't make 'em like that no more .... the emotional response on my part comes partly from the fact that this was the music my parents grew up with and danced to... it is ingrained in the family.

    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.

    The John Wilson Orchestra concerts were Proms highlights for several years, bringing together top London string players with top Big Band players, rounding them out to make a complete orchestra of amazing talent, a body that really shone under Wilson's direction (just watch the players faces to see how much they enjoyed working together). Add to that a range of brilliant vocal performers and a memorable concert was inevitable. These ranged through concerts mainly like this but also including an orchestral concert of music from films (NOT including Star Wars or modern block-buster scores) to a complete and brilliant fully-performed staging of "Kiss Me Kate" and also of "Oklahoma:!". But now? - by the time it's possible to assemble large enough audiences to resume having concerts like these, will Wilson and the BBC be in a position to again assemble the performers like these, or is it an era, an era too short (2009-2019), that will be more than fondly remembered by those who had the privilege to be there (or who, like me, can continue to enjoy watching repeats from high-quality off-air recordings - only the first, as far as I'm aware, being released for sale by the BBC.) [In the details above you will find the Balcony Scene from "West Side Story" listed, but it doesn't appear in the list showing the time of occurrence for each number and it's missing from this list. The scene had to be cut by the BBC to fit the 2hr broadcast time slot.]

    The combination of Anna-Jane Casey and John Wilson conducting the Orchestra turned "Don't Rain On My Parade" (1:38:16) into a spectacular production. John's faithful attention to songs' arrangements and his enthusiastic devotion make a big difference in the program's delights.

    His arrangement of "SLAUGHTER..." is so alive and tawdry. I was born in '55 and found a much poorer recording when I was 9 or 10. But that was a signpost of my musical tastes. Thanks for this.

    The John Wilson Prom specials are annual highlights, presenting great music with superb musicianship. For me, this is my favourite, with a very wide variety of music, Anna Jane Casey out-singing Streisand in "Don't Rain on my Parade", and a finale that tops them all (helped again by Ms Casey, an amazing performer).

    I am constantly amazed at the talent of Seth McFarland. He made his fame doing impressions for well known cartoons but the man can sing and he carries himself on stage as though it were his living room....everything Seth does appears natural. There are talented people for whom talent was natural. Dean Martin was known to never rehearse...everyone else rehearsed but dean showed up sang his songs...did his skit and left to play golf. Judy Garland was like that too.
