专辑介绍:

自从「披头四」那张收录二十七首排行榜冠军的专辑「1」，重新发行并且大卖之后！乐坛又兴起一阵「披头四」旋风，这股潮流刮到以发烧管絃录音著称的「大眾王子」康泽尔身上，「米雪儿」、「昨日」、「嗨，茱蒂」、「让它去吧！」等一曲曲动听的披头金曲，摇身一变成了合声丰富的管絃大作，除了过去摇滚流行的身影，更多出了典雅雋永的风采，曲风有热闹、有耍宝、有浪漫、有巧妙。 康泽尔这位「王子」，还请到以a cappella（无伴奏合唱）著称的「国王合唱团」跨刀助阵，呈现出披头歌曲俏皮、细致的另类面貌，更让歌曲中的人声合唱声部，从「披头四」进化成「国王六」（国王合唱团有六名团员）！ Telarc这张「管絃披头四」推出「国王」与「王子」联手牌，不仅依然固守发烧录音本位，更向广大披头四乐迷招手，来听听！原来披头四音乐变成管絃乐也是如此精采！

review
[-] by Richard S. Ginell

From the moment Arthur Fiedler lifted his baton in 1964 to lead the Boston Pops in a wild, surprisingly effective arrangement of "I Want To Hold Your Hand," symphony orchestras have tried to include Beatles music in their "pops" song bags. The trouble is, the Beatles brilliant original recordings are so indelibly embedded in our collective mental hard drives that they are a tough act to follow -- despite the high quality of the songs on their own merits, despite the good intentions of those who pay them homage. So it is with Erich Kunzel, the Cincinnati Pops and the British early music/classical/pop vocal sextet The King s Singers -- an undoubtedly sincere labor that gets it all wrong. From this album, a visitor from Saturn would get the idea that the Beatles music was all about pretty tunes and satin-smooth harmonies. Yes, but ... The orchestral arrangements -- some of which are actually credited to Beatles producer and catalyst George Martin, others to in-house arranger Steven Reineke, Paul Hart and Andrew Pryce Jackman -- may inflate the sound, yet they reduce the colossal impact and free-thinking guiding spirit of these songs to hum-along background music. The King s Singers approach is, unfortunately, too prissy, too deliberately cute, too sentimental, or too impeccably smooth to do justice to any of them. There are two takes of "Eleanor Rigby that sum things up -- an overweight one for orchestra that opens the album, the other an a cappella treatment by the King s Singers -- both of which miss the terse, emotional fervor of Martin s string octet backing on the original Beatles record. Not even the sumptuous, deep, DSD-derived sound can save it.
