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.
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? )
Sorry for the technical issues that affect some of you. I thought it was a clever way to introduce counterpoint to children. Most are paying such close attention!
In current Firefox all that needs to be done is click on the little grey 'lego block' preceding the 'www' in the address bar. It gives you a choice to allow the flash for this one instance or to allow and save the choice for all instances.
