Day 60: Sirius Pops

My Best Guess: Only on Sirius Pops can hear the most famous classical music pieces all in one place, along with modern interpretations of all-time favorites

According to Sirius: Classical music's greatest hits. The most popular classical pieces of all time, performed by the world's most renowned orchestras and soloists.

Curt's Rebuttal: Not to toot my own horn, but...TOOT. I think I pretty much nailed this one on the head.

Sample Playlist:
  • Gioachino Rossini, La Cenerentela: Overture (performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra)
  • Camille Saint-Saens, Aquarium (performed by Ross Pople and the London Festival Orchestra)
  • Nicolo Paganini, Perpetuum Mobile, Op. 11 (performed by Michael Rabin)
High Points: Hearing classical pieces I actually recognized, as opposed to being some random combination of "Symphony #," "Key," and "Opus #." Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, anyone?

Verdict: Of the three classical stations listened to thus far, this is one I will most likely be bookmarking...unless a different one comes along tomorrow that I like better.

My favorite instrument is either the oboe or the slide whistle.
