Visuals...would rather have had outdoor scenery, no background music, but--if possible, ending with the song of an actual nightingale, since (being here, not there) I've never heard one.
The video was, I assume, assembled by a Cumberbatch fan, which would mean visuals consisting of photos of Ben. I didn't mind.
I agree about the music. Granted, You Tube videos are mostly amateur productions, but I have noticed that music mistakes (too loud, wrong type, etc) are frequent.
Had it been just the first picture, it would not have bothered me as much--a profile of someone serious, presumably the reader. Not as good as outdoors shots of nightingale habitat, or even the bird, but OK. But the changing pictures were visually disruptive of the poem and the mood of it, for me. I had to shut my eyes to listen.
