Worst-ever classical nostalgia album?
mainRoll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer…. this is Warner’s symphonic exploitation of lost youth.
Blurb: German DJ duo Milk & Sugar’s selection of unforgettable Ibiza club classics, meaning legendary dance tracks, were arranged for and recorded by the Munich Symphony Orchestra. The newly arranged pieces cross genre boundaries, opening up a unique sound cosmos. This project combines the love for electronic club music with the authenticity of the classical performance and thus creates a euphoric journey through the acoustic history of Ibiza
There are banging tunes, sometimes you just have to let the double bass drop.
Could we start a list of who might listen to this during long drives, perhaps out to the countryside? I nominate Dominic Cummings.
It’s dismal what some people do for money.
Yuck. I could only listen to about 3 seconds of that. It’s definitely not for the classical crowd.
On a par with this

Yikes
I think a little bit of sick just came up into my mouth….
“Crossover” works way better the other way around (i.e. great music reinvented as pop).
Norman, It would be better to talk about the new Schumann album of Yeol Eum Son.
Yes, it’s published by Warner Classics, however:
I don’t think this is meant to be a “classical album” at all.
It’s the two DJs’ club music rearranged and sweetened up with symphonic orchestra sound.
‘Easy listening’ crossover perhaps – it doesn’t really claim to be anything else, blurb notwithstanding.
A matter of taste, certainly – still, I had fun recording it …
and even made it onto a CD cover for the first time!
Is it worse than Louis Clark and the Royal Philharmonic’s 1981 “Hooked on Classics”?
I’d need to know before I put any money down.
If it’s not worse, I’m not interested.
Some might enjoy it. Everyone else doesn’t have to buy. Simples.
Indeed. But around here you are not free to “enjoy.” You have to adhere to someone or other’s strict standards of taste.
