Notes & Reviews:

Inspired by a chance remark, come the Beatle's most popular pieces written for orchestra on this new Carl Davis release. With recording sessions at Abbey Road, and performances by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, this album tries to remain as close to the Beatle's as possible. An excellent example of merging the past with the present, this work breathes fresh air into music that defined a generation
