^ One of the first concerts I attended as a nipper, at the Royal Festival Hall - a treat from my school.
We were seated where the choir would normally stand - at the back and close to the orchestra.
The re-entrance of Purcell's theme at the end is still one of the most exciting orchestral moments; it thrilled me then and still does now. From about 14:06 in the video.
There's something about orchestral brass...
