Hello everyone!
Next up in my series of posts celebrating all things classical music, I have a personal favourite of mine that has been used countless times in adverts across the years, in particular advertising Alton Towers.
Let's take a look...
In the Hall of the Mountain King
I first heard this track many, many years ago and, I had no idea of its significance back then, over the years, I have come to appreciate this in a whole new way.
It might not get the recognition that it deserves because, in some ways, it's quite an obscure piece that a lot of people probably wouldn't be able to name, until they heard it and then they'd say "oh my goodness, that's the music from the Alton Towers advert!".
Here you go, watch a truly rousing performance from Filharmonia Narodowa and enjoy: -
It's a timeless classic for me because it never gets old even if it is over twenty years since I first heard this piece and wondered just what was so darn catchy about this piece of music.
I hope it continues long after I'm gone as it surely deserves it.
Peace!
