A couple of nice things I thought worth sharing.

John Constable (pianist/harpsichordist with the London Sinfonietta,
lovely person and wonderful musician) has started to contribute a
'YouTube Pick of the Month' to the group's website.

There are two so far. The first is a performance by John Cage on a US
TV show in 1960:

... and the second is the Sinfonietta themselves, playing 'Chain I' by
Witold Lutosławski at the BBC Proms in 1989, conducted by the composer.

Klarinettists may recognise a familiar face among the performers... do
you have anything to tell us about this concert, Tony? :-)
