rather funny.

you just made my night.  this is too funny.  i love the fugish part at the end.  and of course, the 20 'last' chords.

[jakev2.0]

Yeah, I loved this too.

Complete genius to turn Colonel Bogey into Beethoven. Moore also did "Happy Birthday" in the style of the great composers.

Truly one of the great comedians. The "Unreported Jesus" sketch he did with Peter Cook is the funniest thing i have ever seen.

Very funny indeed

I am glad that he actually enjoys classical music and doesn't just make fun of it. When you really like something making fun of it becomes better and more beliveable.

He made a very respectable recording of the Grieg Concerto.

Good old Dud.

I wish I could get a hold of 'the concerto' series he did, there's Beethoven 1 with de Laroccha on youtube and I have part of the Rach 2.  I heard that he performed the Tchaik himself on the show, not sure though.

This is also rather funny

I recorded all of that series, it was excellent. I am sure it was released in the UK.

Him fooling at the piano with de Laroccha was a classic.

Does he perform any of the concerto's himself?

[forester]

He also does a wonderful parody of a Benjamin Britten song with himself playing the piano and singing in the style of Peter Pears. I don't know where to find it though....

I don't think so old chap, only snippets. I will have to try and find my recording.

I am not very good a labelling things, might take a while.
