Performed here by soloist Tamsin Waley-Cohen, it’s been voted the most popular classical piece ever:
Inspired by a poem by George Meredith:
He rises and begins to round,
He drops the silver chains of sound,
Of many links without a break,
In chirrup, whistle, slur and shake.

Darn. No concert in Dunedin. And what a superb version in the video.
