    Progressive Rock adaptations of Classical music pieces....

    Hello friends,

    I am trying to collect classical interpretations for classical music in the following Spotify list:
    https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2V...0669e943db4b26

    In Jazz its far more common to hear Classical Jazz interpretations, this is the Jazz list:
    https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4N...e3438f0e4241fd

    Enjoy it and tell me if you see something is not there..... :-)

    Merci.....

    M>

    Renaissance borrows from Adagio in G minor for Cold as Being. Zappa was known to insert a phrase here or there in some of his works. The one that comes to mind for me is the main theme from Jupiter (Holst) being inserted into Call Any Vegetable but supposedly the Duke of Prunes has several brief quotes from Stravinsky.

    Here's an obscure one: Alice Cooper: "Alley Cats vs. the Jets" lifting a section of West Side Story.

    The Enid's The Last Judgement, and Argent's The Coming Of Kohoutek are based on Dies Irae. Among many others.

    Actually it was Brahms' variations on a theme by Haydn. The theme being Haydn's Wind Partita.

    The Enid also took some bits from Mahler's 2nd Symphony, I believe in the end section of their Fand piece.

    Why?

    That focus will exclude a lot of potentially good music.

    I've always had a fondness for this:



    What Buon Vecchio Charlie lacked in subtlety and understated good taste (everything), they more than made up for in gung-ho rockin' attitude. Personally I enjoy their lack of deference to the material.
