This mouthwatering video shows an orchestra endure the heat of the world's hottest chilli pepper while trying to get through a piece of music.

The musicians start of by taking a bite of the potent Carolina Reaper and its effect is almost instantly visible.

Within seconds there are tears streaming down their reddened-faces and deep breaths being taken in breaks of the music.

Impressively the members of the Danish National Chamber Orchestra make it through the rendition of Tango Jalousie, but are very relieved when it's over.

As soon as the song ends, the musicians are groaning in pain, coughing and keen to get off stage, with some of them even doubling over.

Whether they were wise or not to take up the challenge, one thing is for sure - the chilli added heat to the performance.
