Mozart in the Jungle: Mozart With The Bacon

January 13, 2015 8:10 PM - Season 1, Episode 8

Pianist confrontation. Cuban coconut water. Warren tumbled.

The hypnotising session was not engaging at all. The Warren reveal was clumsy.
Aida Grand March
Violin Concerto in D Minor I. Allegro Moderato
Las Perlas de Tu Boca
Toccata and Fugue

The Marlon/Hailey oboe lesson was full of double entendres, and I wondered where it was going...but that was not where I expected.

I liked Winslow's confrontation of Rodrigo. The dream sequence, much less.

I liked Hailey's oboe lesson from Betty, but I'm wondering how realistic it is for Hailey to have gotten her position with the orchestra in the first place if she has problems obvious enough for Betty to hear when she's only half paying attention.

I'm glad Marlon was shown to be Not Great, because he was hitting so many Not Great notes in the previous episode.

To explain why he hired her, Rodrigo said Hailey was "not flawless" but played "with blood". On the other hand she seems so bloodless that that's been hard to buy all season. She named her new oboe "Kimberly", ffs.
