I wonder how many of us watched this amazing concert on BBC4 or were fortunate enough to actually be in the RAH for the occasion on Sunday evening? I can't remember the last time I was so moved by listening to and watching music being performed with such excitement, joy and commitment. I think that possibly the realisation that many of these young people had suffered much deprivation in their own country lent the occasion a further dimension. Their amazing conductor Gustavo Dudamel had not a note of music in front of him and to conduct such a concert from memory was a considerable achievement.

And then in the second half of the concert after the passion and depth of the Shostakovich we were treated to the exbuberance and fun of Bernstein and the Latin American pieces the last of which involved a change of dress to the colourful Venezuelan jackets. The standing ovation in the Hall and the rapturous comments and reviews of listeners like myself makes one believe that this was one special and memorable concert. Hopefully it will inspire our own young players. I hope the BBC can find space in their schedule for a repeat.
