British Airways - 'Superlakme'

I was asked by Martha Greene at Saatchi’s if I could write a version of Lakme as if orchestrated by Richard Strauss at full throttle. I was happy to oblige but in the event it was decided to be perhaps a little too opulent and that it might give the wrong idea about British Airways. I am sure they were right to withdraw it but it was fun to record and a very big line-up for a single 60-second commercial.
