Product Description
Symphonicities; the companion CD to accompany Sting's highly-anticipated world tour, which begins June 2 in Vancouver, featuring the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, conducted by Steven Mercurio (Bocelli, Pavarotti). The new studio album, comprised of Sting's most celebrated songs re-imagined for symphonic arrangement, serves as the ultimate commemoration of the live concert experience. Created exclusively for the tour and correlating album, Sting's greatest hits have been reinterpreted with brand new orchestrations arranged by Jorge Calandrelli, David Hartley, Michel Legrand, Rob Mathes, Vince Mendoza, Steven Mercurio, Bill Ross, Robert Sadin, and Nicola Tescari. In addition to "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," highlights include fan-favorites culled from The Police songbook such as "Roxanne" and "Next To You," as well as songs from Sting's enduring solo career including "Englishman in New York," "I Burn for You," "Why Should I Cry for You," and "She's Too Good For Me," among others. Symphonicities is produced by Rob Mathes and Sting, mixed by Elliot Scheiner (Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac) and Claudius Mittendorfer (Interpol, Franz Ferdinand).Sting will also be joined by a quartet comprised of Dominic Miller (Sting's longtime guitarist), David Cossin (a multi-percussion specialist in new and experimental music and featured member of the Bang on a Can All-Stars), Jo Lawry (vocalist), and Ira Coleman (bassist).

 It's Okay September 4, 2010
Thomas Iannelli (Muscatine, Iowa United States)
I have a lot of Sting's music in my collection. Including most of the Police albums. This is okay to listen to, but the arrangements left me wanting more. Not sure if it is because they are not different enough from the original, just an orchestra added, but there isn't any one song on this CD that makes me say "Boy, this was worth buying!" It is still pleasant to listen to, and I have enjoyed it several times on my commute.
 jarring September 4, 2010

The first cut on this CD is absolutely jarring, and most of the others left a lot to be desired. I normally really enjoy Sting and I work for a professional symphony and attend regularly so I enjoy that as well. This particular combination just didn't work at all for me. Too bad as I was really looking forward to it.
 Great to see Sting in Concert!!! August 30, 2010

What's up with you crabapples? August 18, 2010
Mark Riney (Rocky Ln.)
I'm eating up this record. Play it over and over. In that rare class of current song sets that I need to hear fully front to back every couple of days. Sometimes on shuffle. Now that you mention it in fact I believe it's time to play it again.
My only smallish gripe, apropos of the title, is I'd've liked to hear a full orchestral attack on 'Synchronicity I' somehow. Has to be some kind of transporting way to arrange it. Maybe someday.
In general this sort of elaboration of previous inspiration seems entirely valid & healthy and I was hoping to see more of it attempted. All the grousing around here can only have made that slightly less likely if anything so let me ask again: What's the deal with you crabapples?
