Making the impossible possible - making music on a vuvuzela

Maybe this will help the Germans win tonight!?

remember this post?

Well, Germans seem to be very taken with vuvuzelas, as three musicians of the Berlin Concert House are now playing Brahms and Ravel on the instrument:

Brahms, Ravel – these Romantic composers already wrote grand solos for the vuvuzela. However, these parts have until now only been played by basic brass instruments - an error, as we now hear. The musicians of the Berlin Concert Hall are now taking us back to the historically intended way of playing these pieces. Maybe this will inspire thousands of fans in the stadiums to do the same.





vuvuzelaaaaaaasource

mods: i'm aware this isn't exactly celebrity related, but it's the world cup and since the vuvuzela is about the most famous instrument in the world right now I'd say it qualifies!

adit: sorry guys, link is fixed!

And thank you for turning this into a celebration post!

For those living under a rock, England and the USA just moved on into the next round!

Was I the only one who noticed how they pretty much only showed the attractive players with the closeups? I swear I saw Benny Feilhaber for about 75% of the game. Not that I mind but still haha

[info]crystalzelda 23rd-Jun-2010 04:18 pm (UTC)
It's so complicated lol

I'm French Algerian American, but my French grandpa inoculated me into equating soccer with France, so they were who I was rooting for

Tho I must admit my loyalties had a crisis of conscience during the US Algeria match
[info]theshadowpuppet 23rd-Jun-2010 04:10 pm (UTC)

[info]magli 23rd-Jun-2010 04:13 pm (UTC)
I know some annoying people who claim they can't watch the World Cup because of the vuvuzela noise. Just turn the volume down, ffs. You're not actually there with a vuvuzela in your ear.
[info]evrythingisrent 23rd-Jun-2010 04:45 pm (UTC)
I tune it out pretty well so idgi either
[info]urbanenigma 23rd-Jun-2010 06:30 pm (UTC)
For reals...that's how I know when it's time to go watch, when my sister turns it on and I can hear vuvzelas!
[info]theshadowpuppet 23rd-Jun-2010 04:13 pm (UTC)
I'm happy for the US, but their win comes hand in hand with Alexi Lalas being a smug ass and I don't want that.
[info]tremblings 23rd-Jun-2010 05:15 pm (UTC)
THIIIISS. I can't fucking stand any of the commentators except Ally. his accent, unf unf.
