Sunday morning music

 

Here's something that classic rock fans and classical music aficionados can all enjoy.  Polish musician Miha Ferk got together with a friend calling him/herself "Miki Maiden" back in 1999.  They went to an Iron Maiden concert in England, and were inspired to consider a symphonic rendition of a medley of the group's songs.  In 2016 they were given the chance to go ahead, and seized it with both hands (or should that be four hands?).  At any rate, they came up with the video embedded below.  It comprises orchestral renderings of numerous Iron Maiden songs:

00:12 Run To the hills
00:37 Wasted Years
01:04 The Number Of The Beast
01:20 The Trooper
03:25 Dance Of Death
07:09 The Evil That Man Do
07:38 Blood Brothers
10:46 Fear Of The Dark
15:15 Run To the hills



The medley was well received, so they did another combining The Trooper, Hallowed be Thy Name and Aces High.




They're interesting alternative renditions of some very heavy rock indeed.

"classic rock"
I always considered the definition of classic rock to be what Alan Freed played on WINS in '54; now I guess it would be called "prehistoric rock"

Lyrics, and stage shows, right out of a hymn book.

Excellent! Very reminiscent of the compositions for orchestra and rock band written by Jon Lord of Deep Purple fame.
