The London Derrière (pardon my French) always reminds me of the Radio 4 theme-tune (Fritz Spiegl and Fred Arlan) which accompanied my wake-up-early-and-learn-Latin-vocab mornings as a prep school boy. It's rather charmingly woven in with 'Annie Laurie'.


Sir James and his flute make me wish for this, which has one of the most sublime tunes I've come across

There are few things, IMO, written for piano and solo instrument or voice which are improved by orchestrating the piano part, and this isn't one of them. Nor is 'The Lark Ascending'.
There is a more-recent live recording on the 'Tube of him playing this, which I find fresher and in many ways more-pleasing - but the recoding quality is not so good.
 
I have recently joined a choir that tends towards the better end of musical quality. Here’s a couple of tasters that we recorded during lockdown, each recording our own parts and sending them in for mixing into videos. Really enjoyed the learning process and the Miserere was a pinnacle of what we achieved.
