David Shaffer

Kartoon Klassics

We all know and love the wonderful characters from the classic cartoon adventures of yesteryear. David Shaffer has crafted this clever reincarnation of music from those classics. Opening with Brahms' 'Hungarian Dance #5' we can all imagine our favorite cartoon rabbit in his many adventures and mis-adventures. With Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries' we hear his death defying escapes from his adversaries. Finally, Liszt's 'Hungarian Rhapsody #2' gives us the musical tension that brought these cinematic classics to their comic conclusions. Multiple percussion effects and clever instrumental writing will make this a favorite for years to come. Very entertaining!
