Klassik mal anders: Heute schon gelacht?
The WDR Symphony Orchestra and rising star Oscar Jockel explore humour in music
Kölner Philharmonie
Slava Chestiglazov | Ulrich Witteler | Augusto Velio Palumbo | Manuel Bilz | WDR Sinfonieorchester | Oscar Jockel | Johannes Büchs | Carola Kärcher: Haydn | Milhaud | Strauss
Whether it's Richard Strauss's Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, Haydn's »Sinfonia Concertante« or Darius Milhaud's »Le boef sur la toit « – fun is a must! And not only in the music itself, but also in the world of orchestral musicians, where humour plays a big part, as presenter Johannes Büchs will discover.
