It's browser specific. Chrome, IE and Edge show the video straight away. For Firefox, I had to install Adobe Flash, restart the browser and then click on the video to allow Flash for this session. The current version of Firefox - Quantum or 57.0 - has its own HTML 5 video tools and thinks Flash slows the browser down.

A good lesson for youth.

Is it necessary to make that guttural sound in the throat when pronouncing Bach's name in English? Personally I wish people wouldn't do that unless they are speaking German.
To me (I'm Scots) the 'gutteral sound in the throat' /x/ is the normal way to pronounce many words that have 'ch' or 'gh' in them, especially those adapted from Gaelic, or Old Scots words (loch / lough, broch, driech, haugh, licht etc.). So it comes naturally to pronounce German names and words in that way (actually, what other way is there? :p)
