Champions League - Theme Tune

[markmullen]

Did anyone else enjoy the classical version of Eleanor Rigby played during the end credits of the Champions League coverage during the week?

I have managed to track it down, it is by the Hampton String Quartet, they also do classical versions of Stairway to Heaven, Bohemian Rhapsody, all sorts.

There is also the Balanescu Quartet, who do some really good versions of Kraftwerk tracks (no, really) so it may be them. I think the London Phil went through a phase of doing "classic rock" which generally massacred Queen tracks. Anything is better than the bastardised version of Zadok The Priest they use for the Champions League main theme though.
