[comp.music] Classical Music <-> Yes Music

A few years ago I heard a radio station playing a recording of a 
symphony orchestra playing a Yes song!  (Or maybe Yes plays rock
versions of Classical pieces)

Does anyone know if Yes songs are really take-offs of old classical
pieces?  Does anyone know of any symphony orchestras that have 
recorded Yes music?

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised at what you heard.  In fact, I bought a
tape a while back that shocked me at the time, but now I know it is
relatively common.  The tape was entitled: The London Symphony Orchestra
Plays the Music of Genesis.  And they were right, too - they played hits
ranging from 1974-1980 ... and pretty good, too.  I've heard of them making
tapes like this for other popular bands, too.....
