Very convincing Mozart-istry there Phil! Excellent dialogue between piano and cello, this sort of improvisation really excites me. As piano improv is my specialty, I'd love nothing more than to find a improvisational cello-playing jamming partner for a session or two. Just saying :)

Oh this is delightfully authentic. Brilliant.

Anthony Ingle & Philip Sheppard improvising live at Impropera - the improvised opera cabaret show at Kings Place. 
This is a rough field recording on an audience member's iPhone...
The audience suggested variations on La Vie En Rose in the style of Mozart & Gershwin - this was on the fly, so be gentle!
