The Good Musician

Sunday Goodie #2

by Arjun Muralidharan on January 20th, 2008

It’s a lazy Sunday again, and time to go back to the old stuff. Here’s some Bach. Mixed with Gounod. Sung by Bobby McFerrin. And his audience.

I know, unbelievable.

Enjoy, and have a great weekstart.

I love the way he entertains the public. He obviously displays his competence as a chorus leader by showing how much he trusts this whole experiment to work.

I also am stunned by his singing every time, though I’m not sure I like the fact he dissects pieces the way he does.
Obviously, McFerrin manages to bring classical music and jazz to a common ground, and to a wide audience at that. Kudos for that. But he is experimenting heavily at times, and I’d love to hear Bach’s comments on this whole thing. Someday.
