Look at this guy playing Ride of the Valkyries on the trombone while skiing. Wagner has never sounded like this before.

Sean Pawling is a god among mortals

Here he is paying absolutely no attention to the Doppler effect and skiing down an Alpine slope while playing the trombone like a full-on genius.

 

He smashes Ride of the Valkyries

Hark! What winged Alpine spirit is that? (It's Sean Pawling again.)


He can also do Siegfried

To finish, he also gives us a bit of Siegfried's theme. Note the plastic trombone: when you're travelling at speed, you need to keep the weight down.

 

Sean, we salute you.

Suggestions for future performances: Ski-fried's Idyll, Das Gluwheingold and Snohengrin.
