Very high and exposed entries for the tenors in the second half of that. I love the tune, but it comes with a certain amount of jeopardy!

One of my total faves - had it playing when my oldest was born!

This is beautiful, but also a hard sing. It's two choirs of four voices each, and it's bloody murder following the other parts. You have to count like a bastard, and hope you don't lose your place, because getting it back again is HARD.

Yes well there used to be a debate about Gould and the Goldbergs - his first 1956 recording made him a recording star, then this at the end of his career very slow
This strange video is a re-creation of the original Glenn Gould recording using modern technology (notes included). Much quicker
Sir Andras Schiff at the 2015 Proms was closer to the late Gould version but not quite as slow. I was there - on 22nd August 2015, and I see from the notes in my programme that I didn't hear the cowbell in the early concert that evening which was Mahler's 6th. A sign of my encroaching deafness (not recommended to anyone).

Stravinsky's seminal masterpiece that kick started 20th Century music. Absolutely a work of genius.

The ballet is integral... the music was controversial in terms of breaking the rules of musical theory and it's often harsh sounds..but yes it was very influential at the time and moved the 20th century forward into a very different musicality.

Absolutely. Nijinsky's choreography was as revolutionary as Stravinsky's music and the premiere of both in 1913 is regarded still as one of THE most controversial and seminal moments in 20th Century art. The choreography sadly was lost......however here is a brilliant documentary- first shown on the BBC - on the search and reconstruction of how that choreography and ballet may've looked. It's pretty fascinating.

I was at this Prom in 2013 when the Stranglers played for about 30 minutes.
As for the bemused comment under the video on Youtube (Why is Jet sitting in glass box?) this is because the BBC/Albert Hall got very sensititve about damaging people's hearing - there had been cases of damages awards to orchestral musicians who claimed compensation for occupational deafness.
