Blessed youtuber! Thanks a lot. I listened to the concert wondering what it would have been to watch these two orchestras assembled each with so talented and young musicians. Maestro Oramo, a delight as always.

Tremendous performance. Some impressive solos and in particular, that fiendishly tricky and exposed horn moment at the beginning of Venus was absolute perfection . I think the cameraman was very taken by the male trumpeter !?

Was lucky to get to go! Though the sound up in Rausing Circle was a bit disappointingly quiet. This video does it more justice.
