| Re: Al Hirt And His Beautiful Instrument. Doc looks real thrilled to be wearing that costume...I remember that Super Bowl..Vikings and Chiefs...One of the Viking's 4 Super Bowl losses..
That recording of Al Hirt playing the Haydn is a classic. I used that, along with recordings by Wynton and Andre as part of a master class I conducted during my graduate degree work. I played the 1st movement from all 3 recording, and had the students critique them. (They did not know who was playing). It made for some "interesting" discussion, as each recording was technically "perfect", but style and interpretation varied quite a bit.
