Hello...now up for auction is the vinyl LP titled PORTSMOUTH SINFONIA Plays The Popular Classics. On Columbia KC 33049. From 1974.
"Welcome to the world of the worst orchestra in history. The orchestra was founded by Gavin Bryars. The members are mostly from art school students, I guess. Among them, there are some famous members: Gavin Bryars-Cello, Michael Nyman-Euphonium, Steve Beresford-Trumpet, Brian Eno-Clarinet, Kate St. John-Oboe,Simon Fisher-Turner-Clarinet etc. Portsmouth Sinfonia is sometimes thought of as an orchestra of non-professional musicians, but actually it is a mixture of professionals and non-professionals. They play popular classical music as badly as they can. But, they are not trying to play badly. They insist they are trying to play as accurately as they can.This is a very entertaining record. You cannot stop laughing. And this can be heard again and again. Why? This record contains the strength caused by the tension between these musicians. I dare to say, this is a good music, too."
