Ok -- confession time. I read your post and Missy's post and then started to listen to your selection. I watched it three times looking for a flutist.

The young girl was very good in front of an audience, and she did make me smile.
Mis -- needless to say, I enjoyed your Mozart all three times
I've been on an ELP binge over on RH's thread. I almost posted their version of Pictures at an Exhibition but decided to bring the orchestral version here instead. I love it!
I'm embarrassed to tell you how many recordings of the orchestral "Pictures" I have but my favorite is still the old RCA Living Presence Reiner/Chicago Symphony which was the first LP version I ever bought. The sound on the DVD, uncompressed from the original tapes, is incredible.
Rossini's "La Centrola" is this Sunday's Great Performances at the Met and I'm enjoying it right now.
