Apocalyptica plays Peer Gynt in the hall of the mountain king.
an interesting juxtaposition of classical and heavy metal headbanging rock and rollahs.

if your not familiar with the
original in classical form.

 

I think they need more cello lessons, or practice. HPH

 

I think it was very interesting.

 

It's nice to see that they can play cello live. There was a another version on YouTube that was a little cleaner.
We had ELO, but they weren't quite a "metal-ee" of a band

 

Search YouTube for "London Symphony Orchestra Classic Rock" and you will find many covers of great rock bands like Pink floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen, and others.

I showed this to Jim. He and I discussed the fact that most of these musicians (hard rock, etc.) have a great musical background. Its interesting to see them apply it in different venues.

 

And the Royal Symphony Orchestra accompanied The Who on "Tommy."

 

I agree. I also liked their version of "Enter Sandman". Different, that's for sure.
