The choice of music today was prompted by a recent video from composer David Bruce (embedded at the bottom of this page) where he asks:
"Is it sacrilege to add a drum-beat to classical music? And what about stringing together bleeding chunks of the best 'hooks', stripping them of their meaning and context. Or is it all just a bit of light hearted fun. Or is it actually a useful educational tool that gets people interested in Classical Music. It's time to look back at 'Hooked on Classics'."
A selection of Hooked On Classics appeared on this compilation of "segued hits" - have a listen and decide if it really is sacrilege to treat classical music like this, or just a bit of fun?
