Usually, I don't care much for the pop remixes of classical works. More often than not, the remix is so far removed from the spirit of the original work that it amounts to nothing more than a mauling of a great work of art. However, I was introduced to the performances of Waldo de los Rios. The album is simply called Classics, and to be honest, I was quite surprised at these remixes. Just listening to them was fun and, for the most, they remained fairly true to the character of the work. I have not had a chance yet to listen to the entire CD, but the little I've heard has got me hooked. Signing off now and going to enjoy some light listening.
