The world would be a far better place if we had many more people like John Wilson in it. Tonight I discovered him and his Orchestra completely by accident, looking for BBC Proms concerts. His dedication to the music is infectious. I hope he has a long, productive and happy life.
The first music was a little bit of “Silk Stockings.” Thank you Mr Wilson for remembering the gifts of musicals from yesteryear. Such extraordinary music and lyrics. This is a special gift
Go back and listen to the movie soundtracks of The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, and West Side Story and you will hear a very pronounced trumpet vibrato. I think this also could be heard in Fiddler on the Roof. I’m impressed the trumpet player for John Wilson is adding that vibrato as well. They really are going for authenticity and have studied things well.
He's also trying to achieve a sound like the Great Hollywood Studio Orchestra's, they are still revered today. I always listen to the original recordings.
i GUESS JOHN'S OWN ORCHESTRA WAS SADLY, DISMANTLED., AS THEY HAVEN'T TOURED IN BRITAIN FOR A LONG TIME. OR APPEARD ON TV. ALTHOUGH JOHN GUEST CONDUCTS A LOT. I MET ''MIKE'' THEIR LEAD TRUMPETER , IN THE THEATRE BAR, DURING THE INTERVAL, AND WE EXCHANGED A FEW WORDS. A VERY NICE AND CORDIAL CHAP.
Karen A th..ohhhh so true...no there arent anymore Garlands...but there ARE better singers...she is all wrong.vocally..lacklustre....therecare a couple of their stable that arent fabulous....not as good as the orchestra
Yes, it seems incredible how people vary so much with regard to their taste in music. For me, I love it. I was lucky enough to go the the Royal Albert Hall the other day to see them. An ambition I've had for years. It was wonderful.
I am full of admiration for John Wilson and his orchestra they put so much work and enthusiasm into their concerts.Thank you Roly🇬🇧

Does anybody know the piece they play at 0:54?
As far as I know, at that time it was an instrumental part from the song "Stereophonic Sound" from the musical "Silk Stockings" by Cole Porter.
Fun video. But my gosh, wrong vocalist for the trolley song. But then nobody can do Judy Garland. But this lady's timbre is all wrong for this song.

It's okay but nothing that special.
What ?
You aren't serious surely!

Yes, what a coincidence!
