Abbey Road Concerto

Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège;
de la Parra, Alondra

Alpha 869

Guy Braunstein, who was concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra for nearly fifteen years, pursues an international career as soloist, conductor and composer. His lifelong passion for the music of the Beatles led him to compose this suite for violin and orchestra which includes all the greatest hits of John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison, performed here with the Liège Royal Philharmonic under a longstanding musical partner, the Mexican conductor Alondra de la Parra. This large-scale rhapsody, based on a dozen Beatles songs, pays tribute to a group of musicians who were greatly influenced by Classical and Romantic composers. To accompany this first recording, two English works for violin and orchestra, The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams and the rarely performed Violin Concerto of Frederick Delius, which – like so many Beatles hits – was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London!

Works:

• Delius: Violin Concerto
• Vaughan Williams: The Lark Ascending
• Guy Braunstein: Abbey Road concerto for Violin and Orchestra
