I recently posted this same piece of music played by a Swedish school 'orchestra'.
Here it is again being played by The Portsmouth Sinfonia.
The PS was originally founded by some 'scallywag' art students from the Portsmouth School of Art back in 1970. Brian Eno famously played with them on occasions (I think that's him on the far right front row), and I believe they even gave a concert at London's Royal Albert Hall. They gave their final concert in 1979.
Enjoy!
I think they required a few more rehearsals.
ReplyDeleteI find them funnier than most comedians, which can't be bad!
DeleteIt's even funnier and just as chaotic as your first posting the other day. Richard Strauss must be turning in his grave.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think he'd have found it as amusing as we do. He couldn't help but laugh.
DeleteLaughing out loud, it is a "Sin" to play like that.
ReplyDeleteBut it's for the enjoyment of everyone!
DeleteHell, I got a nasty surprise there!!
ReplyDeleteMost..... um, amusing
Did you not laugh side-splitting laugh-splitting laughs? I did; I'm still laughing now!
DeleteIf they could not perform better than this, they should have disbanded.
ReplyDeleteHow is the swimming? Your pool must be getting some good use.
The pool is FRREEZING; max 21 C. What's happened to Global Warming?
DeleteThe PS were formed with amateurs who were simply given instruments to play, with no previous ability. I think they did a great job!
