Cambridge Buskers Collection, The
Eight Cambridge Buskers Recordings For Deutsche Grammophon And Polydor On A 4CD Set!
Is nothing sacred? The Cambridge Buskers bring their madcap humour to the greats of classical music – everything from the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ and the 1812 Overture to Ravel’s Bolero and the Teddy Bears’ Picnic! And not forgetting Beethoven’s Nine Symphonies in under four minutes…
This 4CD set brings together the pair’s most famous albums, released for the first time on CD. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll shake your head in amazement, but most of all you’ll enjoy classical music like you’ve never heard it before.
Featuring music from The Four Seasons • The Barber of Seville • Nutcracker Suite • Land of Hope and Glory • Carmen • Eine kleine Nachtmusik • William Tell Overture • The Magic Flute • Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto • New World Symphony • Rigoletto • Brandenburg Concertos • Handel’s Water Music • Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony • The Entertainer • La traviata • Peer Gynt Suite • Swan Lake • and much, much more!
