BBC Proms: John Wilson Orchestra

BBC Proms: John Wilson Orchestra



I watched this last night and thought it was brilliant.

Prom 22: A Celebration of Classic MGM Film Musicals
Clive Anderson introduces a Prom celebrating 75 years of classic MGM film musicals. Songs from movies including The Wizard of Oz and Gigi are performed by conductor John Wilson.

The John Wilson orchestra has to be the best I have ever seen and heard play.

* Sarah Fox soprano
* Sir Thomas Allen baritone
* Curtis Stigers vocalist
* Seth MacFarlane vocalist

* Maida Vale Singers
* John Wilson Orchestra
* John Wilson conductor

Watch again here.
