classical crossover

[Almanah Akapulko]

I' ve recently found interesting clip by Igor Evard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_XHEpgCdOg Classical crossover genre has become an overwhealming discovery. Let's discuss it as I find this genre really exciting.

Hi Almanah

 

Good idea, but you haven't really opened the 'discussion' yet.  What are your detailed opinions ...

• WHY do you regard it as exciting?
• What about this genre is especially appealing yo you?
• What makes you regard it as 'classical'?
  To me, the music is fairly standard tango; did you mean 'classic tango'?  Either way, I've heard a lot of far more exciting and accomplished tango music (my wife was a tango nut for several years!).  
• Do you write/perform this style?  
• How would you change this song to suit your instruments/abilities, and have you written/recorded anything along these lines before?

This is a Spanish folk like melody in a pop music arrangement with a nice video component. How this qualifies as Classical eludes me.

oh, so many questions.  So, first of all, I'm a huge fan of classical music but I couldn't find anything to grab my attention. It was a YouTube recommendation but I was excited with the atmosphere of this video and music. It seems to me really riveting. It's not about tango it's about dreams of love, sea and good weather (in winter especially). 

Classical crossover is a genre of music, I found out that this composer has some works in this genre (e.g. 

)

 

I do appreciate vocal in it, it's breathtaking.
