- I have always been a Paul McCartney fan.
I'll tell you something interesting about this CD. I started listening to it while I worked on my computer. I was familiar with some of the songs in a different form. All of a sudden, I felt very relaxed! I mean, I felt a real sense of relaxation that was significantly different from how I was feeling before! I think these songs are complex, subtle, and I find I like them more the more I listen to them. If you are a McCartney fan, I think you will be pleased and surprised with what you hear on this CD.

- Masterpiece
I bought this album shortly after it came out and shortly after buying "Run Devil Run" which I thought was very good and being a big Paul fan I thought I'd give this a chance. I had never heard any of Paul's classical ventures before and I found this to be incredible. All of the songs he wrote before and then scored for a string quartet sound wonderful. The three orchastrated pieces are incredible also. I haven't listened to the others quite as much, but "A Leaf" is supreme. Buy this if you are a fan of Paul, Classical music, or preferrably, both.

- It's absolutely beautiful!
There are no words to describe this CD. It is emotional, strong, beautiful, and stunning. I would have NEVER expected violin and McCartney to be so prodigious together. I highly recommend this CD, if you can appreciate classical music and Mccartney music, in any way.

- Third Time Lucky
Macca's two previous classical outings, the uneven Liverpool Oratorio and the dull Standing Stone, fell squarely into the for-Fabs-obsessives-only category. On Working Classical, however, he plays to his melodic strengths and comes up with a winner. Both well-known and obscure solo compositions like She's My Baby and Warm and Beautiful work marvelously as short string-quartet pieces, creating a warm, emotional picture. The three longer orchestra works also come off surprisingly well, rewarding the listener more with each listening, the standout being A Leaf. A powerful non-followup to the rock classicism of Run Devil Run.
