    This is August 31, 2024 and I am watching the end of this program with tears in my eyes as I marvel how spectacular this show was. My husband and I lived in London from 2004 to 2015 and I have always regretted not attending at least one Prom before we headed home to the US. We went to a broadway play on the West End at least once a year and watched the Proms on TV, but watching this makes me so nostalgic for London and the wonderful plays we were lucky to attend. All the actors, singers, and dancers were fantastic and Maestro Wilson a genius and a darling. Thank you to whomever made this possible.

    Medley of Gershwin tunes (amazing! bravooooooooo!!!) 0:16 Swanee 0:50 Somebody loves me 1:50 Fascinating rhythm 2:40 Embraceable you 4:20 Lady be good 4:59 The man I love 6:59 I've got rhythm (?) Of thee I sing 7:36 Liza 7:50 Rhapsody in Blue 9:40 Strike up the band 10:20 Rhapsody in Blue (last but not least, Mr Wilson, the conductor is very handsome with that smile at 2:25 - I hope he won't be offended with my friendly remark :))
    (It was an impression of 'I know I am doing my job with confidence and I know it is good' and 'I enjoy what I am doing now' = a true professional)
    So British, so dignified, so charming - worth to listen again and again.

    Wow that was nice! Playing Rhapsody in blue without a piano solo saves time.
    How many people in this world can play that solo? Not too many.
    Now you take the hardest guitar solo (hell take your pick) and tons of guys can play the licks but this piano solo here in Rhapsody in Blue is out of your damn mind intense. Frank Chacksfields orchestras piano player plays this song perfect. Hearing Frank Chacksfields version makes you very critical of other attempts.
