I mentioned it on another thread, echoing your view, in the context of the Proms and what music/concerts they should be putting on. I only heard snatches of the concert unfortunately, and am so annoyed that it hasn't been filmed. Given the logistics of the project - various mobility and other challenges of the performers - to then have them moving around is quite something - and going rather further than Aurora's "from memory" performances...
