Klassik mal anders: Heute schon gelacht?
Slava Chestiglazov | Ulrich Witteler | Augusto Velio Palumbo | Manuel Bilz | WDR Sinfonieorchester | Oscar Jockel | Johannes Büchs | Carola Kärcher
The WDR Symphony Orchestra and rising star Oscar Jockel explore humour in music
Whether it's Richard Strauss's Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, Haydn's »Sinfonia Concertante« or Darius Milhaud's »Le bœuf sur le 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.
