There were two 'YouTube' threads active on Platform 3, and serving an identical purpose, so I have merged them.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

Very much a whole casket full of gems! - this is a performance I've been wanting to see again for decades and (shaky sound and vision notwithstanding) it's marvellous to have it.Originally posted by mercia View PostComment

One has to wonder what medication the SNCF marketing director is on....
(For the non-branchés among us, the lyrics are peppered with current slang, e.g. 'verlan' ('l'envers'), the craze for inverting words - so that for instance 'ouf' = 'fou' and 'chanmé' = 'méchant'... )"...the isle is full of noises,

didn't want to start another thread....but this is astonishing, although not music.
It has gone viral apparently...
actually difficult to believe , but seems genuine

There are no words for this, other than perhaps 'hilarious' and 'funniest video I've seen this year'...

Extending beyond Youtube to the wealth of videos available on The Face Book, this tickled me (I hope and think people without a facebook account will nonetheless be able to see it):
The Concertgebouw clarinet section are obviously quite a crew, with their own 'facebook page', and 'clarinettist's ear-view videos' offered in "Dolby Surround iPhone spectacular sound!!!"

I must have missed this back in February: weird and strangely exhilarating!Originally posted by Caliban View PostThere are no words for this, other than perhaps 'hilarious' and 'funniest video I've seen this year'...
(And did you notice who's behind it all? C51 seconds in - he gets everywhere!

PS: I loved the clarinet duo in the Ravel, too

the McGurk effect.
Never heard of this before. If you haven't it really is well worth watching.
certainly makes you think about what we see /hear music, let alone elsewhere.

What a man! Haven't heard it all, but what I've heard is great - and have a look what he gets up to just after 45 minutes in...

He is extraordinary. Urging on the orchestra is seldom as loud although Beecham and Barbirolli had their moments and I've never heard the orchestra join in before - it is more than one voice isn't it? I played through the second movt to hear how he balances the harps in the movement's climax - it's a personal fad as I love to hear Rimsky's writing for the instruments but I could barely hear them, pity really because the orchestra were really hanging on his every gesture and played with great feeling.Comment
