Fun with classical music

[David B]

I suppose many of us will have seen Victor Borge.

But my sis showed me a youtube clip tonight that made me laugh.

There was a hilarious Canadian Brass version of Swan Lake's dying swan on YouTube but it has apparently been pulled for terms of use violations. Watching a tuba player "die" while playing is a treat you're just going to have to take my word for.

[Garnet]

Canadian Brass? I wonder if they still have a tuba player that can do Flight of the Bumblebee. It was one of the most incredible, and funniest, things I've seen.

Oh, and lest I forget, anyone else P.D.Q. Bach fan? I got to see the good Professer Shickele when I was in college. Very funny.

I am Victor of Borg. Prepare to get all kind of schrumbled up together! No, wait..

Do you remember Hoffnung's concerts (http://www.selections.com/SP439/gerard-hoffnung-music-festival-concert-1956-2cds/)with vacuum cleaners and so forth?

I notice that the link I gave refers to "Denis Brian on the hosepipe", but it was actually Denis Brain, the great French-horn player.

Oh, and lest I forget, anyone else P.D.Q. Bach fan?
WOO-HOO! Mrs. D :love: :love: :love: and I aren't the only ones! We've seen him twice, and fond are our memories of seeing Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice during our Ren Faire days! Check out Black Forest Bluegrass and Two Pianos Are Better Than One for righteous laughter indeed!
