Yeah, yeah, I know, it might be enough to bring a curious young person to want to explore classical music. But I’m not so sure. If I were a curious young person, I would more likely be interested in hanging a poster of her in my room.
I’ve recently been made aware of the Croatian cellist Ana Rucner, who apparently subscribes to the philosophy, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it.” I am happy if her particular brand of artistry brings joy to some, but to me it’s all a mite too kitschy (and not in a good way). If the bagpipes don’t get you, hang in for the drum kit and electric guitar at the two-minute mark.
BTW – I wouldn’t recommend playing your electric cello in a fountain.
Is it just me, or is the theme to “Pirates of the Caribbean” longer than the actual film?
