Product information At first glance, it might seem that the worlds of classical music and pop are diametrically opposed - the former signifying straightforward refinement and the latter youthful exuberance - but as these two dozen tracks prove, there are occasions when these unlikely pairings result in a harmonious union. Great songwriters have never shied away from mutual inspiration, and so contemporary songwriters draw from a well of memorable melodies, often to add gravitas to a song or simply to enhance its catchiness. From ELP to Lana Del Rey, from Muse to Lady Ga Ga, this is nothing new. Focusing on the 1960s, the book "Classical Gassers" explores this unlikely meeting of these two musicians on recordings ranging from rockier instrumentals to breezy countrypolitan ballads. While some unabashedly use the composer's subject matter, others tread more lightly and give the piece a whole new dimension. Recorded between 1960 and 1971, this eclectic selection includes hits by James Darren, Toys, Waldo de Los Rios, Julie Rogers, Love Sculpture and the Mindbenders, album tracks by Roy Orbison and Harpers Bizarre, and lesser-heard finds by the Cats, Renee St. Clair, Lesley Miller and Pulse.

Album può essere classificato come un genere Pop.
