I was once witness to a wonderful perfomance of the famous Bach
Badinerie as part of the Avignon festival.
The group played from the top of a tarred and feathered open-top
double decker bus and consisted of a flautist, a violinist, a cellist and a
keyboard player. In front of them stood a conductor and behind them, two
dark-skinned gentlemen who beat the living daylights out of cymbals and a drum
in the style of a military march.
The memory still brings a tear to my eye.
All the best,
Lawrence
