Lord ‘elf us!
Leave it to you to “Bah Humbug” something harmless and fun made by Lang Lang’s foundation for children’s musical education. Get a sense of humor and a little holiday spirit, Norman. How about a 2015 resolution of no more Lang Lang-hating posts?
Grammatically, that headline could potentially be interpreted in one of two possible ways: the clip is either the silliest greeting of the century from a pianist (as opposed to a violinist, cellist, etc.), or it’s the greeting of the century from the silliest pianist. I know which interpretation I’m going with (hint: it’s not the one that was probably intended)!
Oh IS, Where art thou when we need thee?
Facetiousness out of place. Beheadings, murder, rape, child abuse and abduction in the name of a perverted ideology are no laughing matter.
I can’t exactly laugh about this video clip either…and it also deals with rape — the rape of Tchaikovsky’s music, the rape of the Sugar Plum Fairy. And that from a foundation that wants to “inspire and motivate the next generation of classical music lovers and performers”…
They could at least have got the melody right…..C sharp instead of C natural grates on my ears if I have to listen to it to the bitter end….!
I like these two from Germany.
