This link and and a similar one has come my way a few times. And I have clicked them most of the times. I enjoyed the listening as I enjoyed the listening of the recordings of the London carol event.

As I hear it from diverse TC recordings over the years, this NY TV event was at a clear advantage. No cramped seating, no odd distributions of parts with the resulting odd balance, good miking, and last not least: selected players. Very well done.

I also have seen videos from this year’s events in Grand Rapids and Kansas City. Both were good and way above what I heard a few years ago from other places. One wonderful feature of this years videos so far has been: no idiots of either sex demonstrating their lack of vocal skills over no PA systems.

The London event was at a disadvantage due to low temperatures, but then they have a unique stage in front of St.Paul’s Cathedral. The pitch drifted a bit between the top and bottom lines. Yet the immense and intense beauty of the London euphonium playing on the top line was what caught my musical heart the most.
