Fifty Shades of Grey: The Classical Album - Pachelbel, 'Canon in D' (15x50)

Going track-by-track, in 50 words or less, through all 15 of E.L. James' favorite classical music.

Today...Pachelbel, Canon in D.

Johann Pachelbel's greatest hit, Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields fire this D major round too quickly for any would-be wedding party. Given the kind of love that Steele and Grey are up for, it's probably a tune too maudlin, too--1997 "remaster" or not. Isao Tomita's plasma version would've been a better choice.
