Seeking very obscure Classical Medley LP

[diskobolus 3]

The record had these properties:

- a classical medley of 25-40 pieces

- techno style

- starts with Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto

- other pieces included Flight of the Bumblebee, William Tell, Grieg's A minor Piano Concerto

Want to find out what it's called, so I can search for it. Thx.

From your description, it could be the album Hooked on Classics

Kathy, who has it on cassette

Yes... my dad has the 8 track version, though.

Thanks. Is there an arranger / composer listed?

[Mari 279]

After digging around a bit I have located the cassette

Louis Clark is listed as the arranger and also the conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Here's the detail of the selection you were curious about:

Piano Concerto No. 1 (Tchaikovsky); Flight of the Bumble Bee; Symphony No. 40 (Mozart); Rhapsody in Blue; Karelia Suite; Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven); Toccata (Bach); Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (1st mvt.); Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven); William Tell Overture; Aria from "The Marriage of Figaro"; Romeo & Juliet (Tchaikovsky); Trumpet Voluntary (J. Clarke); Hallelujah Chorus; Piano Concerto in A Minor (Grieg); March of the Toreadors; 1812 Overture

Now, just imagine the music performed with a disco beat
