Thanks Tim @Moonglum .
Very nice indeed.

A somewhat eclectic day as regards what I listened to - some classical, some Bonzos, some Uriah Heep and some AC/DC

Had me for a moment as I thought that Serge (synthesizer in the little window) made it back, but the video is 5 years old. He remained in Ukraine to help his parents.

And while checking, I found this. Nice range.

On this rather wet Monday morning I've been listening to whatever tunes/songs I have based on classical pieces so:-

ELP - Pictures at an Exhibition (Mussorgsky)
Eric Carmen - All by myself (Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto)
Love Sculpture - Sabre Dance (Khachaturian)
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Joybringer (Holst's Planet Suite - Jupiter)
The Nice - Intermezzo (Sibelius 'Karelia')
The Nice - Pathetique 3rd movement (Tchaikovsky)
The Nice - Country Pie (Bach's Brandenburg concertos)
William Orbit - Adagio for Strings (Samuel Barber)

Anyone got any other recommendations, please?

I watched the Eagles Farewell Tour in Melbourne. That was awesome as they stuck to form and didn't go all artsy, out of form. Sounded great! And I heard a couple of new songs that I hadn't heard before.

Jon Lord - Gemini Suite

Orchestral version of Tubular Bells

Thanks, Martin.
'Tubular Bells' was not based on a classical piece. Was 'Gemini Suite'?

Agreed.
No, I think Gemini Suite was entirely composed by Jon Lord.
