In the early 1980s, the Hooked On Classics series took the world by storm with its symphonic rock recordings of popular classical music pieces. In this collection we are proud to present the first four original Hooked On Classic albums, performed by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Louis Clark, and the New World Ensemble Conducted by Ettore Stratta. When these four albums were originally released they sold in excess of 5 million units. Prepare to be Hooked!
