Driven by the success of film scores for blockbuster movies like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and determined efforts to sex-up the classical music industry, a section of Britain's youth appears to be tuning in to Mozart.

I know it's not Mozart, but IMHO 'Moonlight Sonata' is one of the sexiest pieces of music ever written.

Agreed, it is indeed a delight  :-)  Although the classical record labels have been putting forth 'sexy' images of some of their stars for years, my hope is that if these efforts are successful in getting new listeners in the door, some might be moved to dig deeper than the superficialities of the packaging and find that the music is oftentimes more moving than they might have imagined.

Apparently this is proving to be the case, as evidenced by the numbers quoted in this article.
