The empirical approach of the British can be seen in almost every field. The Royal Philharmonic, as well as several others, have symphonic arrangements of popular or "non-classical" music. Jaz Coleman's arrangement and the London Philharmonic's interpretation under the baton of Peter Scholes along with the recording makes this album a philharmonic poem. It is a compilation of various Led Zeppelin songs; however, they are arranged in such a way that one feels as if s/he is listening to a symphonic work. The first three tracks--or "movements"--share a common theme; so, it is not possible to listen to them separately. The fourth movement, "Stairway to Heaven" is the slow movement of the symphonic work. I am not to write a critiqué of the album, nor am I to evaluate Jaz Coleman's orchestral arrangement.
