Classical Music Fails

A compilation of (mostly) classical music fails. Conductors losing batons, cell phone disruptions, and much more! I don't claim any of these clips as my own. All of them were previously published on YouTube and all credit is due their original uploaders. Please enjoy! NOTE: There is now a part 2! I never thought I would find enough clips for a second edition of this, but YouTube never fails to surprise me. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XfR6jQvvs4

5. That reminds me of quite a fail at my maestro's orchestra. He was conducting an orchestra with a chorus, and during a moment of a pause for it, one of the singers fell asleep. The percussion was right by their side, so the musician wit hthe largest drum, on his queue, hit the drum as strong as he could, causing the asleep singer to jump at his feet. After the music was over, the musician whispered to the maestro: "I love my job". xD
6. 10:00 nice job concertmaster. VERY professional, and even stayed still until the conductor drooped her hands. well done!!!

16. I'm sorry, but both of those organists for the wedding should be ashamed of themselves. A wedding is a major life event, and if they can't bother to at least practice before the wedding, they should at least inform the paying patrons that they should find someone who is better prepared or has the prerequisite skills. Honestly, Mendelssohn's Wedding March isn't even a difficult song to begin with for a novice pianist or organist, so there's no reason that should even happen in the first place. They should have quit playing after they realized things were going south so as not to humiliate the couple and their families.
17. 1:45 and 9:03 I could not stop laughing
18. this is brought to you by

19. There is a huge mistake in Cecilia Bartoli's CD with Parisotti's arias. Don't remember now which, but it was a huge fuck up, really can't understand how they let that go into stores.
