The fusion seems to have been (as is the case with most pops concerts) a pop group (with little to no classical experience) playing with a traditional classical ensemble. And neither knows anything about the other's music (presumably). That's not so much fusion as it is sticking a duck and beaver in a bag and hoping a platypus comes out in the end.<BR/><BR/>As for "roll over Apollo" -- who knows? I suppose since Apollo is a part of classical mythology, he represents classical music. And he's saying classical music was supplanted by the pop/folk side of the concert. I don't read it as much of a value judgment (especially in context) as I do the author wanting to clear any confusion about whether there had been any real synthesis of classical and folk traditions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
