The Tom and Jerry Cat Concerto is one of the most hilarious takes on concert life ever seen on the big screen.

Here’s a 21st century update.

 

 

Arthur Rubinstein plays Heitor Villa-Lobos – “Prole do bebê No.1” – O Polichinello. Unmissable.

 

The real thing.

Kids being told to be like Beethoven.

Like: irascible, misanthropic, unwashed and an ego to die from?

From New Bedofrd Symphony Orchestra: ‘We would like to share this exciting video with you that shows our Education Director Terry Wolkowicz’s original approach to teaching young students about Beethoven’s music, and through it – about recycling. It is very impressive to hear children this age use terms such as retrograde and inversion.’

 

I just don’t get it when classical musicians sap the energy from great pop songs.

Do you?
