That's a little gem you found there John.
Air on 'G' string by Mr J Bach makes it sound like a relaxing and effortless manoevre.
Rimsky-Korsakov's flight of the bumble bee is more appropriate in my experience

Very good Bob but I think it's a bit more William Tell overture. Move the time to 2 min's 30 on the link

Nice view...
Nice views but gave up after 30sec's I was starting to feel sea sick.. it looks like the pilots got the old pumping on the base bar syndrome...his airspeed must be all over the place, this is a very bad habit to get into and hard to get out of !
When this pilots finds himself working weak thermals or in strong punchy small thermals he will find it hard to stay in the core because of pumping the base bar...he should trying to keep smooth airspeed with consistant circles, this way you have a better chance of finding the core and staying with it.
Happy long distant flying, then trying to get back !
