For fans of Hitchcock here is the orchestral version
of the opening title of, 'North by Northwest'.
Note the female brass players.

This orchestra has to work hard in parts
on Bernard Herman's classic title music.

I was fascinated to see that a male bassoonist was wearing at least one ear plug! Could only see one ear

There's nothing like a live orchestra. I'll probably never go to see one again.  :cry:

mmmmm, not quite Motzart

Each to his own.
Hermann never wrote chamber music and
Mozart never wrote music for films.  :grin:

But each were top in their own fields.

I bet some of Mozart's music got used in some films though. A lot of classical music gets tampered with and even released as contemporary music.  Here's one example.  It's Stranger in Paradise originally a much faster piece by Borodin

From Kismet by way of his Polovtsian Dances.. :grin: Nice thing about doing the show is one already knows the music, as do the audience..
Mozart is all over the place in films but not only films. The original few notes of the original mobile fone ring tone were Mozart and Copyrighted.  Made the composer's estate lotsa dosh..

Really not enjoying using the 'italics' on this. Bloody confusing.

Mike.. Given that they were being recorded for the sound-track, I assume certain solo instruments were cued audibly using the ear-pieces as an extra aid..?
