| | Baroque Beatles Book CD Joshua Rifkin Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
This record is one of the better executed attempts by "the squares" to understand the Beatles, and one of the best examples of "classical versions of popular music" -- a genre that has no real reason to exist, but so be it. Joshua Rifkin, who would later repopularize Scott Joplin as a composer, "rediscovered and edited" these pieces, which set Lennon-McCartney melodies -- nothing past 1965 -- in the style of Handel, Bach, and Telemann. The liner notes and titles are groanworthy -- "Epstein Variations, MBE 69a" and "Cantata for the Third Saturday After Shea Stadium, MBE 58,000" -- but because Rifkin is no hack, the music is accomplished. These are rhapsodies on themes, not simple symphonic transcriptions. The somber La Paix to which "Things We Said Today" is set reveals a melodic line not too far from an English melody such as "Greensleeves." Thankfully short, the record makes its statement -- a comical counterpart to the music theorists who wanted, at the outset of Beatlemania, to compare Lennon-McCartney to Bach and Mozart. ~ Ted Mills Baroque Beatles Book Music Baroque Beatles Book Songs | 1. | Royale Beatleworks Musicke, MBE 1963: Ouverture, The (I Want to Hold Your Hand) | $0.99 | |

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Listening to the music of Ennio Morricone is a joy for any music lover. Listening to his music as played by Yo-Yo Ma borders on the sublime. Morricone is an iconic film composer, a master melodist whose unique scores are characterized by his bold use of unusual musical techniques, sounds, and textures. The term "spaghetti western" would have less significance without his distinctive contributions. Yo-Yo Ma is a musician in a class by himself. He's an extraordinarily gifted cellist ...
