Orchestra Eats Habañaro Peppers, then Attempt to Play

[trickblue]

This is the Danish National Chamber Orchestra. They first play a normal piece, then eat the peppers at 1:35. It gets worse as the peppers really kick in...

Wow, I haven't seen that in 4 decades.
I remember wondering who is the "Leopold" all the musicians were referring to.
From Wikipedia:

Leopold Stokowski
Conductor
Stokowski rapidly gained a reputation as a musical showman. His flair for the theatrical included grand gestures such as throwing the sheet music on the floor to show he did not need to conduct from a score. He also experimented with new lighting arrangements in the concert hall, at one point conducting in a dark hall with only his head and hands lighted, at other times arranging the lights so they would cast theatrical shadows of his head and hands. Late in the 1929-30 symphony season, Stokowski started conducting without a baton. His free-hand manner of conducting soon became one of his trademarks

Talks about a group of pros.
