Who’s Vienna’s favourite conductor?
The Vienna Philharmonic has just awarded honorary membership…
A good joke for 3’24”, but can they sustain it for a whole evening, night after night? Only then will I take them seriously.
This is fabulous.
A good complaint for a line and a half, but can you sustain it for a whole argument, paragraph after paragraph? Only then will I take you seriously.
The pianist could play 4-hands with igor Levit. He would not sound so sad then.

Yeah well very clever for five minutes.
When will DG make a recording deal with them …?
OMG! Are you guys suffering from an acute attack of snobbery. This is really fun. Kids would love this. But hey, no, let’s keep classical music for ‘real’ people who know what it is really about – no sharing with the younger generations.
They also do quite a lot of serious stuff too!
And they come from Hamburg which is erroneously believed to be a rather staid city business and trade.
About as entertaining as an appointment with the proctologist.
Should your proctologist ever succeed in extricating your couvre-col from your derrière, you may want to reconsider your assessment.
Vee haff meanz of making you laugh, ja.
Yes, classical music has benefited greatly over the years from the likes of Gerard Hoffnung, Peter Schikele (aka PDQ Bach) and my all-time favorite, Victor Borge. There are lots of videos on him (check out his 80th birthday in Copenhagen with Petri), here is one from the 1950s at the White House:

Indeed. The photo reminds of P.D.Q. Bach’s Sonata for Viola 4 hands.
Hmm, I wonder if there’s a sonata for viola backhand in PDQ’s catalog.
Almost descended into a catgut fight for a moment there
The French string quartet “Le Quatuor” has been doing this kind of stuff for ages… Don’t know if they still exist though.
Do they play real music or do they just lark about?
