Disco de Paul McCartney: “Working Classical: Orchestral and Chamber Music by Paul McCartney”

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.

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.

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.

sir paul writes such beautiful melodies. found this in the library and just loved it. it is such a peaceful pleasure to listen to. you will find some familiar tunes and other new ones. i find it moving and lovely.

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.
