Haven't listened to those tracks but no, totally disagree. I love when an orchestra is employed to reinterpret the sound of a class song, or even when you get these albums of symphony orchestras playing the music of bands, like classic rock or prog rock. I have an album called "We know what we like: the London Symphony Orchestra plays the music of Genesis" and it's just brilliant. I wasn't impressed with Peter Gabriel's "New blood", but then TSO do some great work and generally I can't really think of any time an orchestra was added to a song that they didn't enhance it. Orchestras are professional outfits: they know what they're doing.
