Amid the hype-fuelled debate about the classical-orchestral elements in Rosalia’s hit ‘Berghain’, the Royal Ballet and Opera have created a stripped-back version of the song for vocalist, violin and piano.

 

Not bad.

The cover singer is soprano Jacquelyn Stucker.

    A chain-saw version for the simpletons.

    I find it stunning, how an objectively boring piece of music (the 3 most standard harmonies of all time) creates such a hype.
    Pachelbel’s Canon is a freaking masterpiece compared to this.
    But oooooh, she’s singing “classical”, it smells like culture.

    XXXX alive! What a god awful noise. No wonder classical music is widely regarded, if at all, with derision and contempt.

    Not sure what dimension you inhabit. Derision and contempt?
