I thought of The Portsmouth Sinfonia as well. I had their first LP from the 70's and currently have a CD compilation of British comedy which contains several of their more memorable performances including the opening to Zarathustra and an orchestral rendition of the overture to "Tommy."
who is this hilariously funny orchestra?
Today i accidently heard part of a tune and all day tried to find who plays it.
Let me describe it. It was an orchestra playing a very well-known classical piece all out-of-tune just for the fun of it. It was hiloriously funny listening all those brass instruments playing very seriosly with wrong tones. Of course these guys are doing this for the fun of it so what i am trying to find is not a piece that is done poorly but a piece that some real proffesional musicians playing wrong just for the fun of it. I really need to know who these guys are to find more about their performances.
thank you.
