PAUL McCARTNEY "ocean's kingdom" cd,2011.
im not a fan of classical music...actually 99% of it bores me to tears!, however as a big McCartney fan i have to buy all of his classical,operatic material to keep my collection complete...
four seperate pieces on here, each well over ten minutes in length...way too long to keep my attention fixed on it, so i had to listen to it in short spells...
there are some lovely little passages here which are quite emotive,haunting and at times quite uplifting...other times though,i think...how long do i really need to listen to a violin play what appears to be the same notes over and over agian for what seems like an eternity!?
look, not bad for background music i suppose but thats about as far as i'd go with it...the same for his other classical experiments!
that said, it is pretty hard to knock a guy who cannot read nor write music, and has been responsible and part of at least twenty of the top 100 albums of all time(IMO), and its amazing just how far he has come from the simplicities of 'love me do' to writing classical operas,classical dance and classical music in general( maybe one day i will understand all this classical music, but right now, i am not really ready for it!)
