All of which brings us not so subtly to the subject at hand, Apollo 100, the unique-sounding British aggregation that has achieved international recognition through its recorded treatments of classical masterpieces.\nComprised of the cream of Britain's recording studio musicians, Apollo 100 is the brain child of its leader, Tom Parker, a brilliant young arranger-musician. By lacing the basic chamber music sound with overtones of contemporary rock, Parker and Apollo 100 succeeded in capturing the imagination of record buyers everywhere with one of their very first singles releases, \"Joy\" (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring from J. S. Bach's Cantata 147).\nThis album, Apollo 100's second, offers a program featuring old favorites dressed in new form by Beethoven, Chopin and Rossini; plus three exciting originals and the group's unique versions of the current favorites \"Nutrocker\" (Tchaikovsky revisited), \"Amazing Grace,\" \"Telstar\" and \"Popcorn.\"\n\nSpecial thanks to Lyzon Pictures \u0026amp; Frames, Inc., Nashville, for their cooperation and assistance.\n\nSmall painting on left: \"Woman in Blue Reading a Letter\" by [a2234860\u003c\/pre\u003e\n\n                    \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                    \u003cp\u003eA1.
