Rainer Hersch’s live concerts are often more special than others’ because they are a unique blend of classical music and humor, which you don’t usually see in orchestral performances. At one memorable concert, he took his humor to new heights by having the orchestra perform the Waltz in a whole new way.
During the show, Hersch surprised the audience by asking, “Can I just ask who has got Windows on their computer at home?” Few expected what came next. With some clever jokes about Windows error messages, he had the crowd in stitches. Then, he and the orchestra amazed everyone by creating music using sounds from the Windows operating system. This unexpected twist resulted in what Hersch dubbed the “Windows Waltz.”
