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 peculiar 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" start off rather tongue-in-cheek, asking "Who are they kidding? Is this another put-on, some sort of musical joke?" The notes quickly 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, and prepare to be amazed.
