Zombies & Classical Music

[3113]

Just when you thought it was safe to listen to Wagner, there comes this.

The Wagner download, which contains excerpts you would expect to see on a traditional compilation, is an attention-getter — would we be talking about it otherwise? — but the "Zombie Apocalypse" release is more sophisticated. Instead of marketing it to the usual classical music audience, Naxos is focusing its attention on zombie blogs and fans of Devon Gilbert, the young artist who did the virtual cover. Naxos is aiming to meet people where they are, on their own terms instead of expecting listeners to come to them.

So the Ring Cycle isn't just about an Apocalypse...it's about a Zombie Apocalypse! Who knew?

See, everyone tries to attach themselves to a fad...

Here's a Zombie Classic to go with the Classics and Zombies...

Thank heavens it’s available as a download.

I don’t care what Donald Tovey meant by his comment. I'm not about to shock that nice sales clerk who’s been guiding my education in classical music by asking if he carries “Bleeding Chunks of Wagner.”

Ha! See. It's working. A sale already

So I think of Wagner and I immediately get a picture of Bugs Bunny done up as the maiden with a very over-weight horse heading towards Elmer Fudd who has a helmet with horns and a spear.
"What's Opera, Doc". It#'s bloody hysterical

Yes, HP, "I killed the Wabbit" was always one of my favourite arias...
