A recent survey of UK adults has revealed that the majority (60% of almost 3000 surveyed) would like a classical or operatic theme for the UK 2012 olympics, along the lines of Nesson Dorma.
What would you choose? Saz

Something by Schoenberg.
I'd be interested to see how many people would develop a sudden interest in atonal 20th Century music (Joking BTW)...

I only know the Violin Concerto, and don't know that very well !!
Bought it some time last year after another member mentioned him. Just put it down to me trying to be pretentious :biggrin:...

What about something by Edward Elgar? He's a better-known British composer, and something along the lines of his Pomp and Circumstance or Enigma Variations is what people may have in mind...
Just my $0.02.

Could you imagine an operatic theme in the Olympic stadium acoustics. It could sound awful, surely a safe bet would Classical.

I watched an interesting documentary on the telly about the building of the new Wembley Stadium. The angles and corners have been designed so that the acoustics are near perfect. No more echo noises.
