Definitely music to cheer us up in these trying times, performed with appropriate social distancing! In fact I think it gains from the smaller and well-separated orchestra, as each player individually has free rein to bring out the humour of this piece with tempo changes, glissandi, etc.
This was originally written as the incidental music to a French farce, "An Italian Straw Hat" by Eugene Labiche. The plot concerns the search for a straw hat, accidentally eaten by a horse. the owner of which, is ordered to find a replacement in order to preserve the honour of its flirtatious owner! Alas he's on his way to a wedding, and the whole party follow him in his search.. Of course, it all ends well, (as farces do) when an identical hat turns up amongst the wedding gifts! (It was our final year production, when I was at drama college! LOL)
Nice! I did The Italian Straw Hat at School too, though in a slightly less racey bowdlerised version. You may or may not know that the composer Nino Rota (best known for his film scores) wrote an operatic version of the play which is also really rather good.
Great performance! SO thrilled the audience had the guts to applaud at the end of the valse! Could not disagree more with the guy in the audience shaking his finger at 12:54...if an audience feels like showing how much they enjoyed an exciting movement, under no circumstances should they be made to hold back their unfettered joy! It's a "divertissement" for goodness' sake. And when did this start anyway...Beethoven was forced to encore entire middle movements during the premieres of his symphonies because the audience wouldn't shut up! This is why people think classical music is snobby and stuffy now.
Our solo trumpeter Martin Griebl played the opening passages on a mute by Masaki Ono (that's the dark mute). The mute in the finale is by Ratzek Mutes.
Ibert has always been one of my favorites.
This piece is at its mayhem best when the orchestra enjoys itself playing it. Contract fulfilled, WDR Klassik!
The first socially distanced orchestral performance I have heard. Thank you!

Great work as always! Thank you for keeping it up even at this trying times.
