Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra

Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra

S1 E3: Where else within one extraordinary show could you hear Saint-Saens’ The Swan performed on Alpine cow bells, the Panorama theme played backwards, a Cockney take on Beethoven or the most glorious Belgian jazz spoof of the Dr. Who theme? Bill Bailey’s Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra is a hilariously irreverent musical abundance of the surreal, the witty and the downright inspired. Recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall with the magnificent and versatile BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Anne Dudley, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in this brilliantly comic new show.
