专辑简介
Working Classical is Paul McCartney's third full-length release of original classical music .
Following up on 1997's Standing Stone, the concept behind Working Classical was to place pre-existing (and in some cases, very well known) McCartney songs into an orchestral context.
Specially for this project, McCartney also unveiled some new pieces, namely "Haymakers", "Midwife", "Spiral" and "Tuesday". A different performance of "A Leaf" was originally released in October 1995 on a CD single, and is presented here in a new recording.
The title of this project is a pun on the phrase "working class", in the sense that McCartney, despite his elevated stature, still cherishes his Liverpool roots and is proud of them. Mirroring this ideology is his pride in his rock and roll songs and willingness to transfer them into the "elevated" classical music genre.
Paul McCartney's Working Classical was another success in that genre, even though this time it failed to dent the regular US album charts. His subsequent foray into the classical realm is Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart), released in the autumn of 2006.
