A little classy touch of humour at this time of stress...

This will put a smile on your face this morning for all the right brass playing reasons...

Peter Moore
  Peter Moore produced the video performance 80 miles from his accompanist...

We all need a little something to put a smile on our faces at this time, so why not just sit back and enjoy the perfect piece of 'Humour' played by London Symphony Orchestra principal trombone player Peter Moore, accompanied by Robert Thompson on piano.

It's Dvorak's 'Humoresque No.7 Opus 101 — played seriously brilliantly by the duo — who happened to by socially distanced by some 80 miles in the process.
