Have you seen the Jane Campion movie Bright Star? It happened to be playing on the TV at a friend's house tonight, to my utter delight. This "human orchestra" piece (based on Mozart Serenade No. 10 in B flat major) is plucked from that movie. If you have sufficient techie skills, I recommend turning on the "human orchestra" first, then listen to it while perusing the elderly oddly hatted Finns:
When I first heard The Swingle Singers doing Beethoven, back in the 60's, I was enthralled. Nowadays not quite so much, but it's still an achievement.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not as much of a fan anymore either. Loved them for a long time, though! Their Christmas stuff is still worth listening to.
Deletelovely piece. going to ck out Netflix and see if they stream the movie.
ReplyDeleteThat was a real treatT. and I just loved the hatted Finns! Loved there expressions as if they always went around clothed like that. perhaps they do.:-)
