I heard this piece this morning, and I thought "Hm. I should suggest this to the Melodica Men! It would be so cool!" Little did I know, you beat me to the punch. Fantastic work as always!
@@antoniowilliams6505 it's still the same guy. If you look closely at the middle of the frame you can see a very slight difference in the lighting of the two halves of the screen, so they were probably filmed at different times and stitched together in post
Also, count me subscribed! I expect to see more fantastic works in the future! Thank you so much for this! This is one of my favorite Shostakovich pieces 😊
I just don't get how these two brilliant clowns can know by ear, and uniquely arrange, and skillfully play, so many pieces of classical and popular music so well on such bizarre instruments ... plus add on such comedic performance. Beyond comprehension.
I feel if RU-vid categorized your video as music instead of 'comedy', you could a lot more views. Still, your music brings a smile to my face and enjoyment for the ears!
This must be one of their early videos, as it does not have their signature amusing costumes and antics. I can't wait till they Tchaikovsky's Fifth, Fourth Movement. If they have Girlfriends, do Bolero!
Dmitri Shostakovich’s five-minute Festive Overture in A major, Op. 96, was written in 1947 to mark the 30th anniversary of the October Revolution. It was not performed however until the 37th anniversary, when Alexander Melik-Pashayev conducted it during a Nov. 6, 1954, concert in Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre. (Not to be a smart ass or anything.)
@@justdennis287 Strange, why is it even on a olympic soundtrack then? According to the information on that disc I have it was was played during the olympics? But according to Boosey and Hawkes it was used during the olympics games in Moskow 1980. But you right, it wasnt written to that event though. Was wrong there.
That was super terrific. Impressed with the accuracy but you kinda missed the scale at 2:07/8 where it is a flat instead of natural pitch there (Ab I think). Very entertaining. We play that Overture on my posting; check it out. Thanks for posting!
