Terrible
Other than women singing this tune, which came as rather a shock – I dig it!
I wondered why he needed two pianos…!
I wanted to say : « Stupid !! Silly !! Crazy !! »
But, then … these guys are quite talented performers, unlike so many untalented charlatans, that I revised my opinion –
BRAVI for lots of fun !!!!!
Guy seems to have talent and flash to spare. Likewise his trio, and the ladies, add sound and more flash, but the 19th century words have no real relevance to what is going on here. Do all these dramatics have any kind of real point? How long can we be bothered to watch?
That camera operator is really good and, uh, yeah, so is the pianist.
What a hoot!
This is exactly why the Israeli opera, since its difficult beginnings under Edis De Philippe, still cannot be taken seriously. What a pity! Such unrealized potential!
This is atrocious. Bad in every conceivable way. Truly horrible. A crime against opera, jazz, and the human voice. (I don’t feel I’ve stated my impressions strongly enough. )
