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 !!!

[michaelmalamy]

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-hvcq]

Imagine a time when we could all breathe the same air....wonder how long before we see this again? Thank goodness for YouTube.

[Fiffreedom]

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.

Imagine Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn dancing in Funny Face. Thank you Mr Wilson for making dreams come true. You’re brilliant and talented and everything else ‘s wonderful. What a fabulous arrangement. ❤️🏆

[cynthia]

how wonderful it is to see a young conductor who not only loves the music, is a technical genius....but has a smile on his face!

[rylanddespain]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, John Wilson is one of the best to ever do it!

[Mrphilharmonic]

How can you not feel joy and happiness listening to and watching THIS????

[donnakerr]

I am completely FLABBERGASTED by the performances of the orchestra and all the singers. I am so happy to have discovered the Proms.

[jamesderk]

John's Orchestra and singers knock it right out of the park

[bootswilson]

Oh how I miss such glorious music and superstar performers. The orchestra makes me joyous and nostalgic all at once. Why can't the world stop the hate and prejudice and just listen to beautiful genius like these, people who make it fun to be alive. BRAVO!😁😍😘

[richardhunt]

'Ole man river'- nearly one hundred years old now, WONDERFUL !!

[mrpd]

I am much entertained by the way John Wilson conducts. He is a dancing, smiling Conductor, having fun while doing it. And he has the good looks too which matches with his style. Thank you John Wilson & your orchestra! Thank you BBC!

[mudgebauer]

I keep coming back to his video concerts. He conducts with such zest and happiness. Its fun to watch him. He's like a kid in a candy shop. I hope he continues for many years to come.

[donaldauguston]

The conductor is so handsome and having such a good time. The orchestra is wonderful!

[relaxationmusicsanctuary]

Among the best concerts I’ve ever heard in my life. This orchestra is amazing, perfect timing, no mistakes of any kind. Wow 😲...
And Sierra Boggess is an angel with a soprano voice

[AuntieMamie]

Thank goodness for John Wilson. Through his tremendous talent, this impeccable music will live on a little longer. It’s 9/11/24 and I didn’t think anything could lift my spirits. This man and this music are a special gift. Thank you for sharing this video.

[tintinsnowyful]

That was fucking fantastic. Thank you, John Wilson...and all the wonderful soloists, chorus, and orchestra.
