Release Notes:
Following the resounding success of their first two
Beatles Baroque albums, MontrΘalÆs Les BorΘades are
back with their latest in the collection of Beatles
tunes on early instruments.
New York-based conductor and continuo player Eric
Milnes has arranged some of the BeatlesÆ most
enduring hits (All You Need is Love, Hey Jude,
Strawberry Fields, The Long and Winding Road, among
others) for period instruments including recorder,
baroque violin, viola da gamba, and harpsichord.
The result is an astonishingly fresh take on the
musical and lyrical genius of the worldÆs most
famous band. Beatles Baroque III (ACD2 2351) is
available in retail outlets across Canada starting
October 2, 2006.
Conductor/arranger Eric Milnes set out to
reconstruct these Beatles songs as if they were
written three centuries ago. ôAll throughout the
1960s musicologists were extolling the virtues of
the BeatlesÆ music, with references to qualities
which resonated with echoes of the 16th, 17th and
18th centuriesö, Milnes says. ôThis was often
scoffed at. And yet, the echoes remain. So many of
the songs remind me of Dowland, Purcell, Handel and
Bachö.
Although just seven years old at the time, Milnes
remembers vividly the single release of Strawberry
Fields/Penny Lane as a neighbour ran across the
street waving the Capitol 45rpm disc. But it wasnÆt
until his high school years that his exhaustive
study of the complete works of the Beatles began,
coinciding with his serious study of classical
music at the piano, harpsichord and organ.
The inside scoop on the Beatles Baroque phenomenon:
"As the geriatric member of the group, I fondly
remember dancing to She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
the day it came out on a 45 rpm vinyl disc". û
Susie Napper, cello, viola da gamba
"I played Magical Mystery Tour, Sgt. PepperÆs and
The White Album so many times that they completely
wore out my old turntable". û Sylvain Bergeron,
baroque guitars
"Every Beatles release was an excuse to throw a
party that would last all night"!û Margaret Little,
viola
"If I had been told that I might one day play The
Beatles on my baroque violin, I would surely have
thought myself under the blaze of LucyÆs diamonds".
û HΘlΦne Plouffe, baroque violin
