Mike said...: Mr I: was this some form of parody? Von Fawkes as conductor, Torvill & Dean on french horn and Hague at first violin?; 2 December 2011 at 08:36

call me ishmael said...: Yes, the editing and all the shots are sometimes a bit tricksy, distracting. Often, I wish they would just park one static camera in the third or fourth row and allow Herr Bach et al to speak for themselves.

I wondered of whom it was that the conductor reminded me. Von Fawkes as a musician, now, there's a thought.

Delightful, yes but strangely a bit unresolved, unfinished, incomplete, vague, even.; 2 December 2011 at 14:31

It reminds me of something that I cannot place. It will come back to me.; 3 December 2011 at 15:47

If you speed it up you have the intro to one of the Brandenburg concertos (ish), but I can't remember which one.; 3 December 2011 at 16:55
