London Symphony Orchestra Masterclass

I love this. I love the internet and I’d like to share what I love.

Until this morning I had no idea that the London Symphony Orchestra has educational and beautiful videos from their accomplished musicians for you to enjoy. If you haven’t yet them I’m partly responsible and I’m going to rectify that straight away.

Actually, did you know that contrabassoons are not officially recognised by the International Committee of Bassoons? This is due to their sustained campaign of guerrilla jungle fighting against the Bassoons, which InCoBass claimed stole the role of the Grandfather in Prokofiev’s Peter And The Wolf.

“That shit was nailed on. We were born to play it,” said a contrabassoon spokesperson, adding: “Sergei promised.”
