Sung in English. Applauds after every opportunity as invited by the conductor before the performance. It’s rather nice. The spirit of Baroque opera

I will catch this via the iPlayer, later. I can then choose whether to edit out the applause or the musical performance. I will almost certainly do neither. indeed.

Hmm. Not my view, but I've always disagreed with Norrington on that point. At least the audience is applauding sensitively in quick bursts so as not to disrupt the musical flow too much.

An enjoyable performance so far, but not as much "fun" (as Norrington wanted) as my benchmark which is Rattle's superb recording with the Birmingham orchestra and chorus.

Just finished.
A bit of whoop whooping,wonder if that happened in Vienna 1799,as well as applause.
That final fugue thingy just a bit rushed maybe.
Very fine and fun I thought.
