Lego, Bill Bailey and Chopin

January 21st, 2007

I’ve been having some real fun over the last few days getting my entertainment from YouTube and not just from TV or what’s on the Mac. There’s some great stuff there and like people, a real mixture.

There’s the kid in me that loves to see animated lego, the 30 something who thinks Bill Bailey [who we saw at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last August] is the funniest comedian we have in Britain and the classical music lover who has just discovered that BBC Radio 3 types are placing old recordings of the master pianists like Rubenstein online.

He’s surely a man from another era. This recording in particular is sublime. Take a moment to click on the link and be transported, not just to when the recording was made, but further back. Wonderful stuff.
