Well, having braved the horror of War and survived the terror of Exsanguination, today I restored my humours with an Ode to Joy.
Beethoven's 9th at the Proms. I even dared the arena for a better sound.
What can I say about such sublimity?
I could say, that again, this one will be available not only in audio:

But video too:

Look out for me, I wasn't far from the front.

A standing ovation and rapturous applause for the performance, which was entirely from memory, not a score in sight!

A song they should bring back on stage : "Joyful, joyful" because it's just such a great song but they need to keep the descants like on the original live recording/DVD in the US.
There was a reason it was in my consciousness when I answered the quiz...
