I can imagine this guy playing a very nice Doctor incarnation from Doctor Who.

[@cristinepante6986]

I like to think he is indeed The Doctor. He just seems like the Time Lord type.

[@Qardo]

Wait. You saying he isn't a Time Lord?

[@xana-lu2ko]

gosh YESYESYES

[@iamjimgroth]

That's actually not a bad idea.

How I wish he had been my music teacher! What a gift for engagement he has.

[@tollyt7465]

Rainer Hersch is a genius.. The way he gets people to engage with classical music, and music in general is just on another level

[@DrWhom]

no

[@dvdcalin]

amazing, this is the way to attract new generation to classical music.Way togo!

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

+dvdcalin Rainer Hersch isn't interested in attracting a new generation to classical music. He is interested in having a good time on stage and making the audience laugh. He has said in the press "if they learn anything or start listening to classical music as a result of my shows, that is their own fault and there is really nothing I can do it about it."

[@rheinland44]

+Rainer Hersch Fan Channel but perhaps young people want to know more about Brahms Beethoven Prokofiev, Strauss etc... after they were hearing a Hersch 's show ! :-) why not !?

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Actually, young people want to know more about Queen. But if we all wanted to know about the same things, how dull life would be.

[@rheinland44]

+Rainer Hersch Fan Channel yes.. for instance I m a great fan of Sibelius' music ! :-) but i'm sad : not enough people know Sibelius ;-).. so I hope secretly Sibelius' symphonies become famous with R. Hersch 's help !!! :-)))

[@feliciaf8]

+Rainer Hersch Fan Channel true XDD

I just love how he makes classical less stuffy. He's a really funny guy, I love his energy.

3 Versions of Bohemian Rhapsody: 1) 1:54 Bach 2) 2:33 Joplin 3) 3:02 ABBA

[@belleenigma1528]

Such beauty! You know you've among greatness when literally everyone in the room is singing Bohemian Rhaspody and know the lyrics by heart. Reminds me of sitting in the cinema watching Bohemian Rhaspody and not a single person remained silent at that moment.

[@NinfaRoma41]

If you somehow feel she kinda sounds weird, that's because she was actually supposed to be the harmonic companion to the main voice, which is the one supposed to be sung by the public nonetheless, which I think it's pretty cool by the way. She's not singing as the main voice and that's why kinda sounds somewhat off key, but... Plot Twist: she's not!

[@ceruleanrush3315]

This is a great example of Leitmotif and how it can make many different genres recognizably connected.

[@pixelschubser3d]

Bismillah.... OMG I never read the lyrics and for 40 years I was thinking they sang "Miss Miller" ;-) ;-)

[@TheMakhlukghaib]

+pixelschubser3d it actually saying "wish me luck" lol

[@dave5194]

Hey, that's my latin teacher's name lol

[@LacrimaPhoenix]

pixelschubser3d same here xDDD

[@mustafahaniya7670]

Since I am an Arab, I always hear it Bismillah but I think maybe I just misheard it because English is a second language.

[@anomalous5549]

[@gnouveli]

hahaha 1:55 they mashup the song with bach "air". and the funnier thnig is that seems no one laugh, or recognize or react to it. hahaha

[@mariellasantos2930]

Yea, I thought it was just me who noticed until I found your comment

[@luthfirmansyahalbar3868]

Or they actually did realize but chose not to laugh because it was good and wasn't funny?

[@cynthiarodriguez5726]

I absolutely love this conductor and his orchestra.....so funny!!

[@beboCo1oL]

Hello, i'm Habeeb from Saudi Arabia and i'm 17 i'm a huge fan of you i love you so much.. you always make me laugh and you give me a new music to listen every time thank you for your all efforts you provide to everyone and to every generation

[@stevecannon1774]

I had a friend once who was shocked to learn that the old song says "There's a bad moon on the rise." He thought it was "There's a bathroom on the right>"

[@pamelacass9642]

I always thought it was “Miss Millar”.... I love your take on this, it’s such a great song. 😁

[@feralbluee]

The Monkees - never ever occurred to me cause we did have “somethin’ to say”. but that is freakin’ hilarious 😆 :)

[@MetrxQin]

I'm touched, the open beginning is just beautiful.

[@Daysaturate]

No joke, i've been hearing them say "Bismillah" till now, only now do I know that they said "Wish Me Luck"

[@ogivecrush]

When I was a kid there was a magazine called "Hit Parader" that had the lyrics to Top 40 songs printed every month....I vividly remember FINALLY being able to know the words to "Bohemian Rhapsody".......also "Benny and the Jets" was kind of hard to figure out without being able to read the lyrics.

[@tina.a.59]

Love this !

[@fabianvonreinsperg9170]

480p nice seeing you again! :P

[@bluesky6028]

Love Bohemian Rhapsody, probably the best song ever written ! But this is fun, really enjoy it !!!

[@nitathegooglegiggler.439]

Bravo Maestro. Nita.😀

[@rockweedgirl]

Bach like you've never heard him (or it) before! Wow. seriously, love it. Genius! OMG, The Sting (er, Joplin).....and Abba!! I'm old enough to remember them first hand!!! What more, I ask.....I must listen on. Glad they have an edit option................

[@barbarakiewe4917]

I was certain I heard "Bruce Miller", somebody famous, I supposed, who I just had never heard of. I love misheard lyrics videos. They're so relatable.

[@Saucyakld]

Same as my Aunty, Are you lonesome tonight from Elvis was sung as Are you lunching tonight? Hahahahaha

Imagine what this guy could do to and for the words to: "Jumpin' Jack Flash"! Even Whoopi Goldberg had difficulty (in the movie, "Jumpin' Jack Flash").

[@lawyers9]

This guy is hilarious, but he knows music inside and out!

[@terrorcop101]

When I was watching his conduction of the Philharmonia Orchestra, I thought he reminds me of my Junior High band teacher. Now I just want to see him in person. You coming by Madison anytime soon?

[@eyganhobbykere6676]

really genius.. i like your perform sir.... dont even imagine,, classical music will be interesting, from my side who blind music

[@onemercilessming1342]

Every time I hear the "Tara" theme song from "Gone With the Wind", I imagine someone singing these words: "You can't have Tara; Tara is mine." I've never managed any more words to it than that.

[@bonniebellekalos318]

As you can see my name is made up of Bonnie and Bell with an e. I was named after two characters in Gone With the Wind. So I've done some research. I actually had a 45 speed record many moons ago with lyrics to the theme song. I haven't heard it since I was a teenager but I think the title was something like a band of angels, but don't bet on it. So you're not far from wrong.

[@MicrosoftsourceCode]

I always used to mishear *caught in a landslide* as *according to last night*
