Bro I don’t care how accurate this performance is it’s hilarious asf The way they’re dead and still playing their vacuum cleaners cracks me up for some reason
I performed the Grand Grand Festival overture at London’s festival hall for Malcolm Arnold’s birthday with the actress Hayley Mills as one of the Hoover players. Arnold was in the audience. Your orchestra sounded great, but next time you need the old uprights that are louder. Hayley Mills even began moving it backwards and forwards as they did. FYI
This is the third clip I have played, and I have yet to find one performance that is accurate. A pathetic starting pistol is not a substitute for the obbligato rifles, the vacuum cleaners are supposed to be noisy uprights (this was written in 1956 after all) and where is the wonderful organ?
The one obscured by the conductor is an upright; you can see it when he slumps over. The pistol is okay for artistic license. Agree that not using the organ is a sin. Unfortunately the best version of this piece (the Proms one from 2009, which had David Attenborough on a floor polisher) to have appeared on UA-cam has been removed. Sad, because it's not like there's any point holding the copyright over something that was on TV ten years ago and you can't exactly commonly buy in shops.
@@santiagochauprincipe4885 They are using orchestral instruments of the right period, but not vacuum cleaners of the right period, which were noisier than modern cleaners. I was calling them instruments as they are used as such in this piece.
There is a great church organ in that hall, but the organ part is played by a keyboard. Why? There is no 32 ft register in that silly loudspeaker, so you could have taken the church organ as well.
Recommend authentic retro upgrade Hoover Junior, which Malcolm Arnold would have been familiar with, which are much noisier but very effective vacuum cleaners too: ua-cam.com/video/i1AWj5m51V8/v-deo.html

I would have loved to see & hear that! I've had a crush on Hayley all my life!
The best continuous ending of a piece ever!

Wow, excellent soloists!
CDは持っているけど、音でしか聴いたことがなくてどこで掃除機がなっているのかすらよく把握できていなかったのだが、まさかこんな凄絶なストーリーラインのプログラムだったとは(笑)

Wrong vacuum cleaners? They should have used period instruments.
@@karldelavigne8134 To be fair, they don't use period violins, cellos, clarinets or trombones

I bet that was a loud concert, A huge orchestra in a small hall!
Those are vacuum cleaners. In E-flat, no less...
'tuned Hoovers'
Three vacuum cleaners, one floor polisher. When my city band did it, we got the Mayor to play the floor polisher.
fuck it
clean music.
There is supposed to be an electric floor polisher, in D. ;-)
Oh, he was hiding behind the conductor!

What! no helicopters?
It's a chamber music, afterall ;)
These vacuum cleaners really suck.
I'm sorry, ARE THOSE VACUUM CLEANERS!?
Yes, Grand Grand Overture for large orchastra, Pipe organ, three vaccuum cleaners and a floor polisher.
@@hughcoleman3866 don’t forget the gun
@@hughcoleman3866 and 4 rifles
i could have been a floor polisherist

The Organ needed to be more prominent.
Great to see those arts and culture grants are going toward such worthwhile endeavours. I have something u can do with your vacuum cleaner.
those vacuum cleaners are the least expensive instruments on that stage
