Readers may have noticed that I'm an old bastard and, while I like music in many different styles and genres I haven't kept up to ...
Nice. I think I've seen them before.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that Paganini could make the violin say words. This is the closest I've seen. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou might enjoy reading the memoirs.
DeleteThey start with: 'Adolf Hitler my part in his downfall' and run through to 'Peace Work'. Well worth reading. Read them in order.
Milligan described Bill Hall's violin playing to be like Paganini along with his likeness.
I have read "Adolf Hitler my part in his downfall". Did he also write " A guide to the Catechism of the Catholic Church"?
ReplyDeleteNo, no I don't think he did. He thought that the catholic church, priests and the catechism were, in order, a scam, cunts and bullsit.
DeleteNo, some silly old priest wrote that. That violinist actually wasn't outstanding, he just did a very good job.
ReplyDeleteActually, on rewatching, he's pretty damn good but the other two aren't.
