Stephen Roberts - Classic Snacks

By: Stephen Roberts

... Turkish Delight • A Taste of Tango • Hungarian Goulash

"...The character of Stephen Roberts Classic Snacks, in which three staples of the popular classical repertoire are given an irreverent makeover, is aptly summed up in the subtitle: Classic morsels with a slightly cheesy flavour. In Turkish Delight Roberts injects a syncopated, jazzy twist to Mozarts Turkish Rondo: Beethovens Für Elise is given a Latin makeover in A Taste of Tango, in which timbral nuances are highlighted through the effective use of mutes: and the collection comes to a rousing conclusion with Hungarian Goulash, a sparkling arrangement of the Hungarian Dance No 5 by Brahms."
