As much as I admire these musicians for being such good sports, the result as seen in the video is in my opinion not even anywhere close to being worth the time and effort it must have been necessary to spend rehearsing and preparing for that kind of performance. Its overexposure notwithstanding, Dvorak’s “New World” is a fine symphony that does not need any elaborate visual enhancement.
Is the orchestra really playing, or are they dancing along to a recording?
Why can’t they just listen to the wonderful music? Why do people need visuals all the time and be ‘entertained’?
No comments…..
No. This is just stupid, self-indulgent nonsense.
Slavonic Dances, perhaps.
New World? Not so much.
