About this album
Classic Rock is a crossover set that reframes familiar rock and pop hits through the scale of the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Choral Society. Issued in 1982, it sits in the long tradition of orchestral pop projects that brought classical weight to songs already embedded in the popular canon. The repertoire draws on landmark material by Queen, David Bowie, Procol Harum, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and others, with the orchestral treatment highlighting the drama, melody and harmonic ambition behind the originals. As a polished symphonic reinterpretation, it shows how late-20th-century rock could be presented as concert music without losing its mass appeal.
