Our Take

If I had a pound for every time someone asked me to review a compilation album of classical music, I'd have enough money to buy myself a concert grand piano. But here we are, with VARIOUS ARTISTS' Explosive Classics, a collection of some of the most bombastic, over-the-top pieces in the classical canon.

From the dramatic opening of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 to the thunderous crescendo of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, this album is a non-stop rollercoaster of musical fireworks. It's like someone took all the most dramatic moments from a Hollywood action movie and set them to a symphonic soundtrack.

But while Explosive Classics may be filled with bombast and bravado, it's not without its moments of subtlety and nuance. Pieces like Debussy's Clair de Lune and Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1 offer a welcome reprieve from the bombastic blasts of the more well-known works.

Overall, Explosive Classics is a wild ride through some of the most iconic pieces of classical music. Whether you're a lifelong classical music fan or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to leave you feeling exhilarated and maybe even a little bit exhausted. So strap in, turn up the volume, and prepare to be blown away by VARIOUS ARTISTS' Explosive Classics.
