As a little boy growing up in NYC, in the 60’s, I was lucky to have parents who were friends with Richard Rogers. On a few Christmas eves I sat at the foot of Mr. Rodgers as he played Christmas songs as only he could. I knew I was in the presence of a great man. Indelible in my memory, this music cuts right to my heart. These days it’s wonderful to cry. In joy.

Many thanks Jim, for sharing that wonderful story. What a great privelege to have been so close to one of the two---GREATEST, popular music writer's of all time. It has been my belief for the last, nigh-on 60 years, that when R&H died, so did musical theater, with about three excellent exceptions. THEE most important content of their music, was the shere musicality of their songs, and great, often witty, narration of the lyrics, which , was a strong accompaniment to the story lines. Virtually ALL of the songs, were eagerly awaited, by most of the big singing stars of the era, who were almost garanteed, a big hit after they had recorded them. Few people left the theatres without singing or humming those songs. Compare that with today. It is very rare, for a new ''Musical'', to have more than one big hit, maybe two, the rest ? immediately forgettable. Thanks to the great John Wilson, and his superb Orchestra, we can hear those enequalled songs, as they were intended, and LIVE TOO.

When I was a kid, we had 5 LPs at home, 3 of which were Rodgers & Hammerstein: Oklahoma, South Pacific and The King and I. I played them over and over and still know each song by heart over 60 years later. As an adult I've grown to appreciate many of these tracks as among the finest songs ever written, I absolutely love them. When my mum was still alive we used to belt out Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin' together. When I sing it now, it's difficult to hold back the tears. If there's one thing we need to thank the USA for, it's the music it has given the world. All of the genres of western popular music came out of its different geographical regions and multifarious ethnic groups. Musical theatre and films is my favourite genre.

This concert brings nothing but joy in an era when joy is hard to come by!

When the show, "Oklahoma" opened on Broadway and the songs got on the radio, the whole country was enthralled. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing someone singing or whistling the songs. Our teachers at school had us singing them every day, especially, "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!" We might have thought they were a part of Americana that had always been with us. At this time in our history, they were just what we needed to see the bright side of life during the times of war and recovery. It won't be forgotten as long as we're alive.

The Carousel Waltz Suite is my most favorite R&H instrumental piece. I’ve heard it so many times on CD’s and records, but never saw a close-up orchestra performance such as this one. The John Wilson Orchestra performs with so much joy and enthusiasm, that it’s not only music heaven to my ears, but an incredible sight to see the amazing talents of each musician, playing their individual instrument to perform this beautiful R&H masterpiece. I usually see other orchestra musicians appear very serious with their instrument playing, but this group exuberantly performs with much joy, smiles and true emotions which comes through in their music. What an incredible treat to see this Proms performance of R&H music! Thank you, thank for putting it on KZread! I love it so much! 💗🎵💚🎹💛🎭💜🎶🧡🎪💗🩰🎷🎡🎀👒🎶📯♥🎷🎺🥁🎵🎼🔔😊

Magic and beautiful

Lovely, that's all I can say. Brought a tear to my eye because of the beauty of the orchestra and singers.

What a magnificent orchestra

What a beautiful morning sung by Gordon McCrea, takes me back to a summer morning on my way to work with the car windows down and this song on full blast. Carousel Is my favourite musical of all the works of Rodgers an Hammersteins collaborations.

I had the pleasure of going out one evening with Gordon McCrea for dinner. I don't remember tasting my food, I was in such awe that I was sitting right there with him having conversation!!!

@@evanwoodham6296 No, surprisingly, it was here in my small hometown of Bowling Green, KY. He had come along with Anna Maria Albergetti, to headline a show at our local theater. We (a group of us local citizens) bought a closed OLD movie theater to keep it from the wrecking ball, and had converted it to a live performance traditional theater. This was a fund raiser even and the night for the grand opening celebration. I say again, I was so surprised as to how nice they both were at just sitting at a table with lowly me and talking to me as if they were actually super happy to be with us for this event, and how easy it was to just sit and talk about a lot of things. One thing that impressed me just as much, was this lady who was with us. She was the piano accompanist for them and it took awhile but eventually found out I had heard her piano playing previously in a movie. She was the player for the famous music of "Dr. Zhivago".!!! I LOVED THAT piano music she provided and I actually targeted HER for more questions and answers than I did the two stars. She was one of those famous people we never get to know about, so I gave her my devotion that night. I wanted her to know how appreciative I was for her talents.

@@mikelastname1220 In my opinion, Gordon had the greatest , beatifully warm, and most musical tone to his voice, ever. Many have expressed favour for Howard Keel, he had without doubt, a great and powerful voice, but too lacking in subtleness and sweet tones for my liking..

What caused all this gorgeous music to stop being produced? We need it now more than ever.

Lack of talent to write it, lack of talent to perform it, lack of interest to have performing arts programs in public schools. Sad, sad and more sad.

Jim: I feel like i'm in Royalty. I'm 79 and no stranger to Richard Rogers' music. He always brings me back to my youth on the farm. Thanks for your posting.

R&H are as magnificent and timeless as G&S was in the 19th c, each were destined for the other as they combined the perfect wedding of words and music. Music that touches your heart and carries you through life.

Loved it. Thank you John Wilson for conducting such great concerts. Tremendous musicians. Your concerts take me to a whole other dimension. Thanks also for reminding us what the human race and Western Civilization is capable of.

Fabulous conductor, Fabulous orchestra and singers, stunning music !! Pure Magic!

This is quite an orchestra. I'm amazed that they did the score of the entire film production number of June Is Bustin' Out All Over absolutely perfectly.

What beautiful and glorious voices and music - stunning performances! The immortal music of Rodgers and Hammerstein!

The wonderful music of Richard Rodgers. What a treat to find this concert. Thank You!

What beautiful music and lyrics, took me back to the 50s listening to the music I grew up with, music was so much part of our lives then

Have you seen the Great Performances rendition? Stars Reba--yes, she could have been a diva on Broadway, I swear it--& Brian Stokes Mitchell, along w/ an all star cast. Beautiful .

What a joy and beautiful to hear again and again! I bow to the conductor, musicians and singers for living the music. Thanks for sharing this on KZread so someone here in some distant place and time can partake in that ever present moment of musical joy.

When one stops and considers the fact that virtually every one of these musicians and vocalists grew up playing each and every one of these songs during school years and in private lessons while learning their art, its no wonder all of them appear so happily touched by these lovely arrangements, and so obviously happy to perform their parts in this show. No other song writter or songwritting team has been as prolofic or had greater impact on the universe of musical arts.

This performance is beyond words! I"ll watch it again & again.

And to think, it was not in the original stage production. I suppose someday, someone, will put the two songs from the original that did not make it into the movie along with the two songs that Rodgers wrote by himself in a production. I hope so.

Hopefully this and other concerts will be available to us for as long as people have the good sense and taste to appreciate this wonder music.

Watching during pandemic 2020 and loving it. Lifts your spirits. Thank you all fabulous concert.

Awesome, Amazing, I can not find words.........

Genius in music

Beautiful songs. Lots of memories with these musicals. Very enjoyable. Rogers & Hammerstein knew how to make the music move you heart and soul.

IMO THE GREATEST MUSIC , FROM THE GREATEST SHOWS/FILMS EVER COMPOSED BY TWO MAGICIANS , ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. THIS IS REAL MUSIC
