ASTON is a six-member group of early twenty-somethings who recently graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and have been making classical covers of favorite pop songs that are nothing short of gush-worthy. Their version of Rihanna’s “Rude Boy,” which swept the internet earlier this week, inspired us to search for other classical covers on YouTube. Click through to listen to our favorite five, which includes a different contribution by ASTON, who are pretty much the gold standard.
