Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra
If you've ever seen a Bill Bailey stand-up show you'll know he's not only hilarious but also incredibly musically talented, coaxing perfectly executed tunes out of dozens of instruments. In this show recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, he teams up with the BBC Concert Orchestra to provide a uniquely hilarious and irreverent guide to the sounds, styles, and instruments of the orchestra, with a wide range of subjects including 70's cop shows, sci-fi films, Bailey's own songs re-imagined for an orchestra and more!
