I was on youtube browsing some videos and came across a breakbeat remix of a Mozart piece. It wasn't that great but it reminded me of this:
Venetian Snares' "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született" (yeah, I have no idea how you pronounce that either) is a great breakcore album. Aaron Funk (A.K.A Venetian Snares) samples from works by composers such as Bela Bartok, Stravinsky and Paganini, then combines them with into something completely different. There's even a bit of a jazz section in the track "Hanjal".
He also does a rendition of "Gloomy Sunday" ("Öngyilkos vasárnap" on the album), a song that according to urban legend lead to multiple suicides when it was released due to its melancholy nature. Those that are superstitious need not worry, I've heard several different versions of this song and I am still here!
If you are into breakcore, this is a must listen. If you are into classical music, this will be interesting at the very least so give it a go!
