![]() Cathy Berberian: Revolution |
Beatles songs go baroque! An operatic first!
Eventually, record producers realized that it's a bad idea to make entire albums of Beatles songs done in some unique or perculiar non-rock style. Unfortunately, that seminal moment did not occur until some time after opera singer Cathy Berberian recorded this unbelievable LP. The liner notes on "Revolution" (a Beatle song that Cathy doesn't actually perform on it) start off rather tongue-in-cheek, asking "Who are they kidding? Is this another put-on, some sort of musical joke?" The notes quicky go on to assure the reader that it is not, but one listen to the music on this album and you won't know what else to make of it. Opera. The Beatles. Error. Error. Call your friends over. Place your jaw squarely in the open position. Drop the needle on Revolution, and prepare to be amazed. |

says: Cathy Berberian's voice suits perfectly and wonderfully for Beatles songs, and I know that there are other opera singers who loves the Beatles; among them I can mention tenor Nicolai Gedda, whose favorite Beatles album is "St. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". To say more, I've heard comments that bass Samuel Ramey is an ardent Beatles fan, too. Why can't opera singers adore the Beatles? That's nothing bad, absolutely! May my comments show the whole wide world that nothing is Beatles proof!

That would be Justice. But TANJ!
