Aston has won my heart. They have some truly wonderful, beautiful covers of some of top 40 hits. What’s different, though, is that their arrangements are classical.
They are a group of young Australian musicians, most of whom have just graduated from a conservatory. Classical purists may not like their “classical pop” genre, but for someone who likes violins AND dance music, they are a dream come true.
Some of my favorite: Rihanna’s Only Girl (above); Lady GaGa’s Born This Way; and Katy Perry’s latest, E.T.
Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing this! I love when music we love gets re-created by others. Definitely have to track some more of their music down.
