BBC Proms 2010 - John Wilson Orchestra - Rogers & Hammerstein's 'Oklahoma!' overture

I thought I would like to share this short video snippet from last years BBC Prom concerts that run throughout the summer at the Royal Albert Hall in London. One of the highlights of last years season was John Wilson conducting his specially assembled orchestra featuring the music of Rogers and Hammerstein - probably the most famous music collaborations in history.
The amazingly talented conductor and arranger John Wilson assembled this huge orchestra specially for this concert and in doing so recreated the massive studio orchestras that existed to record some of the most famous soundtrack music in cinema history.
I hope you enjoy this great music.

Hi Brilliant video...my father has been searching for a recording of the evening but to no avail, I'm amazed it has never been released on DVD. Do you have the whole evening recorded by any chance? Dave

@davyboy111111 Thanks for the comment. The DVD of this concert hasn't been released, only the 2009 MGM concert.
