A neat commercial, but as a musician, I must rant.

Watch this commercial for Loewe sound.




The piece they're performing is "Va pensiero" from Verdi's Nabucco. It's a choral work I've not only performed, but taught, so I know it fairly well. Well enough to say this, anyway.


1) Upping the bass on your tv will not make the basses sing an octave lower.

2) Upping the volume on your tv will not make the tenors sing an octave highter.

3) Upping the treble on your tv will not make the sopranos sing a new harmony. (Although they'll probably sing that dotted rhythm too early anyway, just like in the video. Heh)

That is all.
