:00:49. > :00:56.APPLAUSE Good evening, everybody, a very
:00:56. > :01:00.warm welcome. Tonight at the props, two musical giants go head to head,
:01:00. > :01:07.both sensational violinists, both of them mavericks. One was famed
:01:07. > :01:14.for his addiction for coffee, his preponderous for alcohol, arrested
:01:15. > :01:19.for fighting in the street with a bassoonist. The other has a spikey
:01:19. > :01:29.haircut and uncompromising opinions, one composer, one performer. Ladies
:01:29. > :01:44.
:01:44. > :01:51.and gentlemen, playing the work of Wow. Well, good evening, ladies and
:01:51. > :01:55.gentlemen. Good evening. That's more like it. Listen. It's not late,
:01:56. > :02:00.but we're just letting a few more people get in. Listen. It's
:02:00. > :02:06.wonderful to see all of these cats here in this amazing auditorium.
:02:07. > :02:12.It's a bit of a lonely job, this one, playing Bach in a solitary
:02:12. > :02:16.manner, so I've got the ghosts of a few musicians around me just to,
:02:16. > :02:19.like, make a little placebo effect. So anyway, I'm going to start with
:02:19. > :02:23.this Preludium, which just for anyone who might not have heard it
:02:23. > :02:27.before - I know all of you cats is, like, the most knowledgeable in the
:02:27. > :02:33.world! But, you know, one or two might not have heard this most
:02:33. > :02:43.amazing thing about it - is this line of notes with the complete
:02:43. > :02:43.
:02:43. > :07:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 266 seconds
:07:09. > :07:18.Thank you, by the way. LAUGHTER
:07:18. > :07:23.Um, so this next sonata in its entirety is a killer concentration
:07:23. > :07:25.- let's put it that way, and just as much for you as it is for me, so
:07:25. > :07:35.good luck, people. LAUGHTER
:07:35. > :07:35.
:07:35. > :42:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 266 seconds
:42:54. > :43:01.Thank you very much indeed. Man, I need a beer!
:43:01. > :43:06.LAUGHTER Been off the alcohol at least a
:43:06. > :43:14.week for this. But I think, you know, I've got a theory about Bach
:43:14. > :43:20.which many other people have had before, which is that Bach can
:43:20. > :43:22.swing, you know - I mean, you know, these D minor artists are pretty
:43:22. > :43:27.serious, and we have just got through that together, and not
:43:27. > :43:32.really trying to swing in that one, but it's nice - some people put a
:43:32. > :43:35.bit of a beat in there, and these instruments are not just for show.
:43:35. > :43:40.There's going to be some noise coming out of these things, and I'd
:43:40. > :43:42.like to introduce to you, like, some amazing musicians who are
:43:43. > :43:48.going to help do a little bit of something to Bach, right?
:43:48. > :43:53.LAUGHTER So this guitar - this beautiful
:43:53. > :43:56.Maccaferri, I think should be played by a great friend of mine
:43:56. > :43:59.from Frankfurt, the beautiful country of Germany, one of my
:43:59. > :44:05.favourite countries, a fantastic place - a shame about the football,
:44:05. > :44:15.but English is even worse, yeah. Rolf Bassald, please.
:44:15. > :44:25.
:44:25. > :44:30.That's it. Pretty good applause considering
:44:30. > :44:36.you've played nothing yet. LAUGHTER
:44:36. > :44:42.You better be good, mate. Don't be nervous.
:44:42. > :44:52.And on contrabass, someone suitable for the size of the ininstrument
:44:52. > :45:02.and a fantastic musician, from Palestine stroke Israel, a
:45:02. > :45:15.
:45:15. > :45:18.fantastic player, Yaron Stavi. And then lovely to see you, mate.
:45:18. > :45:21.You are big enough for that instrument, man.
:45:21. > :45:29.LAUGHTER You know, it's fantastic having
:45:29. > :45:34.someone in the dressing room who can actually eat the rider! Anyway,
:45:34. > :45:41.so last but not least one of the social experiments in my band -
:45:41. > :45:45.LAUGHTER As a young kid, when he was going
:45:45. > :45:51.to kindergarten or the equivalent of such in Poland, he started
:45:51. > :46:01.beating the other kids physically, and the authorities, which had some
:46:01. > :46:06.say in people's lives in those days, kind of said, "Listen -" to his
:46:06. > :46:11.mother, this is - they said to the mother, Mrs Dziedzic, please can
:46:11. > :46:18.you buy your kid some drums so he can hit those and not the children?
:46:18. > :46:27.Right? And this has been an amazing success, so I would like to
:46:27. > :46:37.introduce to you Krzysztof "Still Out of Prison2 Dziedzic -- prison"
:46:37. > :46:46.
:46:46. > :46:51.Hey has been rationed to one drum, so I hope this does not lead to a
:46:51. > :46:58.fight in a phone box later, but, like, Krzysztof, how are you
:46:58. > :47:02.feeling? Great, thank you. Thank God for that. So anyway - yeah,
:47:02. > :47:08.let's keep him happy, I mean, whatever it takes, like. So we're
:47:08. > :47:18.going to play a song called Das Pendel, which is German for The
:47:18. > :47:18.
:47:18. > :55:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 266 seconds
:55:41. > :55:51.Pendulum because it's based on Bach, Thank you very much indeed, ladies
:55:51. > :55:54.
:55:54. > :55:56.and gentlemen. Rolf Bassald, guitar. APPLAUSE
:55:56. > :56:05.Any Polish people in the audience? APPLAUSE
:56:05. > :56:14.OK. Well, I want to say something to Rolf - masz piekne wlosy. It
:56:14. > :56:24.means he's got lovely hair! He washed it for you guys, you know?
:56:24. > :56:34.
:56:34. > :56:44.Yaron Stavi on contrabass. (Speaking in Polish)
:56:44. > :56:47.
:56:47. > :56:53.APPLAUSE And, of course, Krzysztof "Still
:56:53. > :57:00.Out of Prison" Dziedzic - so man, I'd like to move into another
:57:00. > :57:07.dimension, if that's all right, so, like, same time of merits to the
:57:07. > :57:13.composer we're going to play next, a fantastic harmonic master, a
:57:13. > :57:18.phenomenal melodist and some rhythm in it as well. This guy's called
:57:18. > :57:22.Fats Waller, and we'd like to do one called How Can You Face Me Now?,
:57:22. > :57:30.which basically goes like this - # How can you face me
:57:30. > :57:35.# After what I've gone through # All on account of you
:57:35. > :57:39.# How can you face me now? # That's why I'm not going to do the
:57:39. > :57:49.melody or, like, singing it, OK? LAUGHTER
:57:49. > :57:49.
:57:49. > :03:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 266 seconds
:03:36. > :03:46.# Yes # Yes! #
:03:46. > :04:08.
:04:08. > :04:12.One more for the road? AUDIENCE: Yeah!
:04:12. > :04:16.Sorry? Two more? No, that's too much, man. We don't know no more
:04:16. > :04:21.than this, and I've got through the whole night without swearing, and
:04:21. > :04:26.that's, like, taking some! This is a moor well-known song by the same
:04:26. > :04:31.composer. He went out and bought some flowers one time to try and
:04:31. > :04:41.make his girlfriend sweet. This one's called Honeysuckle Rose.
:04:41. > :04:41.
:04:41. > :09:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 266 seconds
:09:56. > :10:06.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yeah! Yeah, try the intro out, man.
:10:06. > :10:06.
:10:06. > :15:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 266 seconds
:15:36. > :15:40.That would be pretty cool. One, A rather unexpected double bill,
:15:40. > :15:44.but then what would you expect of Kennedy but the unexpected Fats
:15:44. > :15:48.Waller paired with the music of JS Bach? Well, this is our last
:15:48. > :15:55.broadcast on BBC Four this season, but wrapping up the whole she bang
