Having just discovered - after several weeks tweaking settings and reporting it as a fault - that another of the saintly Google's products, YouTube, has unilaterally and without prior notice stopped sending notification emails when a subscribed channel uploads a new video, it was only by chance that I spotted this slice of brilliance had been uploaded by the BBC as part of its socially-distanced "Instrumental Sessions" series [see here and here for more]:
Gawd bless the BBC!
Footnote
The composer/arranger of the excellent piece above is not merely a Klezmer clarinet specialist, but also a proud Welshman.
It was thus inevitable, I suppose, that he would lend his talents to producing a combination of the two things - in this faboo version of an old Welsh folk song (usually heard sung by male voice choirs and rugby crowds):
When worlds collide...
Eyebrow raising stuff. I am fond of the clarinet. Makes me want to play my sax!
ReplyDeleteWhat is Google up to? Or has it been sabotaged by Facebook?

I can't wait for "Scarlet's Socially-distanced Sax Sessions" to hit YouTube. Although you'd have to let people know it was there, as YouTube won't be notifying them...
DeleteI think Google's philosophy seems to be "if it works and people find it useful, let's remove it/break it and make life awkward as hell". Jx
Oh, those were fun! It's nice to see the "personalities" of these clarinets in their natural habitats.
ReplyDeleteI always think "they must have very tolerant neighbours". Jx
