Enjoy this gem, and don’t let the comedy fool you - - - these are world-class musicians. 6. We found that we had a common repertoire of polkas and marches which we all shared and which we did not have to rehearse. It all means long periods of not being at home. Zoltan Kiss's drunken ranting in ‘Hungarian Schnapsodie’ and a glorious skit on the Olympics and ‘Chariots of Fire’ was musical comedy at its best, as the audience lapped up the surreal antics of a group whose humour incorporates a mesmerising range of international influences. Estonian World Review provides news and opinions from the perspective of Estonians living abroad. Yet, as is always the case with Mnozil, amongst the beautifully judged comedic timing, it was the sublime musical magnificence of the seven musicians that left the lasting impression. Chris Thomas: All of the Mnozil members have an individual and specific “style” in terms of both personality and fashion. Most welcome to come along and have a blow give us a try. Wilfried Brandstötter: There are different ways of creating our music. Mnozil Brass "Never look at the brass - it only encourages them." It goes without saying that we had to rehearse a lot for the 'Trojan Boat' and 'Irmingard'. Gerhard Füssl: Well, the fact is that after all these years we know each other very well; our personalities, mentalities, each other’s private parts and so on!! Although Thomas and Leonhard are prolific in this respect is there any degree of collaboration involved?

... September 16 • Players and beginners of any standard are always warmly welcomed especially some more solo cornets and a spare percussionists to help out existing players.

Is the timbre and sheer scale of the sound something that you have consciously worked on and engineered? When a show is running we try to have ten or fifteen minutes every night before we walk on stage and talk about what went wrong the night before to try and polish it. 279 scores found for en TUBA on Tuba solo. Instruments are provided by the school, but very limited availability. Their combination of virtuosic playing and sketch humor will make even the staunchest of musicians laugh-out-loud! We always play unplugged and because we play big venues we have had to develop good projection automatically. Roman Rindberger's mellifluous flugel on ‘Moon River’ and a high octane account of Weather Report's ‘Birdland’, neatly summed up the sheer diversity of repertoire and awe inspiring sound generated by Austria's very own ‘Magnificent Seven’.
