Then comes a Disco Hits Medley , followed by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Don’t Cry for me Argentina. Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water follows, then Sting’s English Man in New York , both with orchestra only. This may seem strange material for a classical orchestra, but more extraordinary things are to follow. There’s Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall (choir and orchestra) and the Bee Gees’ How Deep is Your Love (orchestra only).
