5 out of 5 stars Magnificent!.......2007-06-02

I have listened to this album time and time again. I never tire of its beauty, its passion, and its inventiveness. It is one of the few albums I must always have on my MP3 player. It is a work of genius by a man who is brilliantly interpreting the genius of the Beatles. The recording quality is superb.

5 out of 5 stars Interesting and surprising.......2006-06-11

I love this CD. It combines the best of both worlds--classical and rock. Paul McCartney said he took Bach pieces and made them into something new; for instance he used Bach chord progressions for his song "Jenny Wren," on his newest "Chaos and Creation" CD. Well, Bayless takes Beatles melodies and does great Bach-style things with them here. It is fun to hear Beatles done in the Baroque style, interestingly and flawlessly. Bayless is creative in his arrangements, AND he performs so well. This CD makes me smile. I betcha Bach and all four Beatles are smiling whenever its played.

5 out of 5 stars Superb artistry!.......2005-12-31

As a professional classical musician (and erstwhile Beatles fan - my mother raised me listening to them at home in the late 70s) I have to commend this delightful album! The playing itself is fantastic, and the artistry and skill of John Bayless in imitating Bach is really amazing. It's just plain fun to listen to, but sounds like "real" classical music. I've bought this as a gift for many other musical colleagues, to rave reviews!

5 out of 5 stars True to Bach, with a hint of The Beatles.......2005-08-13

This CD is a tribute to Bach with a hint of The Beatles infused between. It rings true to Bach's complex, multi-voiced piano pieces with mild Beatles undercurrents. Beautifully done. I completely disagree with the previous reviewers.

2 out of 5 stars Worth a try, but don't expect much.......2005-08-08

I like listening to experimental music, and thus I have a lot of respect for this album for what it attempts to accomplish. I had high expectations for this experiment because I am a huge fan of Bach and the Beatles. It's very hard to hear any Beatles influence during most of the album. Unless the money that you plan to spend on this album is disposable, I suggest that you consider spending some time listening to the samples before investing in this album.

5 out of 5 stars Grant & Co. Know How To Hold Your Attention.......2005-11-09

Years ago,I used to hear the title tune,'I Want To Hold Your Hand' played constantly on local jazz radio;so I was pretty sure I wasn't alone in thinking it was my favorite number played by a great jazz guitarist.Green,along with Hank Mobley on tenor sax,Larry Young on organ and Elvin Jones on drums do this in a medium tempo with a beautifully done balanced attack by all the cats.The entire album is basically medium-tempo,but turns it up for 'Speak Low'. This is my favorite Grant Green album-and I don't think anybody ever played guitar better.

3 out of 5 stars Another Collaboration with Larry Young.......2005-10-27

If you liked "Talkin' About," you may like this one too. Fans of "Street of Dreams" also might like this one. For me, it was a little too mellow, and a little too pop sounding, so I ended up selling it.

4 out of 5 stars I Want To Hold Your Hand, (a guitarist's album).......2005-03-20

I Want To Hold Your hand is an album by Grant Green that was made because Green wanted to and said that he took the route that Wes Montgomery did, covering pop tunes and gaining more recognition. Sadly, unlike Montgomery, Green didn't have any popular success with these albums, but they make for very nice swinging sets.

This album is truely an album for guitarists to study if they are learning jazz guitar. Listen to his sound and his dexterity. Other than that, this album is far from the greatest album in Green's cataloge.

The opener, I Want To Hold Your Hand is very beautiful. It took me a while to figure out what song it was from hearing it, but that was just because of Green's gift for song interpertation. The song definately sounds like a 1960's Bachelor music hit, but unfortunately it was not. Maybe due to lack of distribution, and it being on a strictly jazz label as where Montgomery's hits were on A&M Records.

As the rather boring, bossa nova craze was sweaping the country it had its ties and impact on jazzers. Corcovado (Quiet Nights) written by who else, but Antonio Carlos Jobim, swings. The best of the rest are Speak Low and Stella By Starlight.

The neat trio consisting of Larry Young on organ, Elvin Jones, (RIP) on drums, and Green on guitar are complimented with Hank Mobley on tenor who dropped by for the session. This is somewhat of a classic, but there is much more by Green to check out. Idle Moments, Street Of Dreams, Green Street, Solid, and many more during his run on Blue Note Records.

3 out of 5 stars Nice, low-key farewell to a great trio.......2004-04-23

The Grant Green/Larry Young/Elvin Jones trio made four discs for Blue Note, the first (Green's _Talkin' About_) on their own, the next three with a succession of guests: Sam Rivers on Young's _Into Something_, Bobby Hutcherson on Green's _Street of Dreams_, & tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley on this disc. Mobley plays very well but he is unmistakeably a bit of an interloper--for the most part he just drops by for an improvised chorus & otherwise stays out of the way of the trio. The program is rather blander than on the other three albums, though Green was the kind of player who could make even banal material sound wonderful. There are no originals, but instead a couple bossas (including a bossa arrangement of the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand"), a couple less-covered tunes by Cole Porter & Steve Allen, & the familiar warhorses "Speak Low" & "Stella by Starlight". The Beatles tune starts out a little too low-key but prompts some surprisingly pungent solos from the players; "Speak Low" hits hard, & the trio feature on "This Could Be the Start of Something New" cooks mightily. The other three tracks are pretty but comparatively uneventful. Hard to claim this as one of Green's shining moments (though I see that someone else has made the effort on this page) but it's a good album nonetheless. Just don't expect fireworks!

        Not the best treatment of Beatles music from the classical point of view. London Symphony was much better.

        5 out of 5 stars awesome music.......2006-03-10

        Hearing the Beatles music arranged in classical format shows what great musicians and composers Lennon and McCartney were.

        5 out of 5 stars AMAZING!.......2005-01-08

        I cannot help but smile when I listen to the beautiful arrangements on this album. It blends the Beatles' genius for melody with the great percussive sound and incredible energy of Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops. I've heard other orchestral versions of Beatles songs, but none has compared to this one (if anyone has found a better CD, please post a note here). Any Beatles or Pops fan should definitely own this CD. I can't stop listening!

        4 out of 5 stars Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops do the Beatles.......2005-01-01

        As conductor of the Boston Pops for almost half a century, Arthur Fiedler brought popular classical music and pop music with a classical twist to the people. Leonard Bernstein was providing an intellectual and more glamorous musical education for Americans, but Fielder was coming into our living rooms on a weekly basis with his Boston Pops concerts. Fielder and the Boston Pops produced a lot of records, mostly with RCA in the 1950s through the 1970s, most of which offered everything from classical overtures and ballet pieces to movies themes and the hits of the Beatles.

        It was inevitable that with over a hundred albums the Boston Pops would do the Fab Four. They were the first orchestra to perform the songs of the Beatles in 1964 when Fiedler returned from a trip to Liverpool ("I Want to Hold Your Hand" was the first one they ever did). These are not just these songs played by a classical orchestra but rather arrangements done for this purpose. You will notice that one of the standard ways of arranging these songs is to use the chorus as the introduction for the song (e.g., "Eleanor Rigby," "Hey Jude"). If you can guess from the drumming at the beginning of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" or "Yellow Submarine" what those songs are then you are way ahead of me, but that is the sense of fun that Fiedler brought to these songs by giving them the John Phillip Sousa treatment.

        Sometimes it is such the simple elegance of doing the guitar parts with strings, as with "And I Love Her," or even the staccato strings of "Penny Lane," that makes the songs enjoyable. Then there are the mood chances invoked by turning "A Little Help From My Friends" into a work of minor chords. My assumption is that if you pick up this album you will know the songs, but not these arrangements, so you should just forget about looking at the play list and just listen to the music.

        There are a quartet of bonus tracks on the album, featuring live versions of "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "And I Love Her," and "A Hard Day's Night." These are not different versions of these songs, which is too bad because I thought it would be interesting to see if the Pops arrangers could come up with different classical ways of doing the same songs. The final track is actually Fiedler talking about how the Pops came to play the Beatles music, as a "novelty." I have not listened to this sort of music for a while, but it makes for nice background music and there are more albums out there. Remember "Saturday Night Fiedler"?

        3 out of 5 stars Some Moments - but doesn't live up to expectations.......2004-09-30

        During the 20th century, Arthur Fiedler was one of the most celebrated conductors of orchestral music. He is most famous for being the longtime conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra. As someone who is a novice to classical music, I have found Arthur Fiedler's music very easy to get into. Namely, Fiedler made classical music easy - for the everyday fan to enjoy. One way Fiedler accomplished this is through doing popular tunes in the classical style. Fiedler's style often added a new gusto to classical music concerts by including not only popular music, but also Broadway tunes, jazz, folk, and advertising jingles - all done in the classical style (in the late 70s, he even did Saturday Night Fever tunes - 'Saturday Night Fiedler'). One might get very excited to hear that there is a collection in which Fiedler does Beatles tunes. I've always thought the Beatles' music would lend itself perfectly in the classical music arena - especially their later works. On this particular collection "Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra play The Beatles", it does have it moments where things work very well. However, overall this collection did fall short on my high expectations that I had.

        There are several things that disappoint me about this collection. For starters, there is only a total of two songs from the Beatles best three albums: "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" has one song ("With a Little Help From My Friends"), The "White Album" has one song ("Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da"), while there is no songs from "Abbey Road". As mentioned above, I thought the Beatles' later material lent itself well to being played with an orchestra. These albums are really the cornerstone of this period, yet there is two songs between these three albums. I understand that Fiedler's "Play the Beatles" was put together in 1969, but I still expected much more of a presence from these albums. I think many of the tunes on these albums could have lent itself very easily to classical music. For example, songs such as "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", "When I'm Sixty-Four", "Day in the Life", "Come Together", "Golden Slumbers", "Carry That Weight", "Birthday", and "Helter Skelter" would have sounded wonderful being played under the classics. I don't know if the Fiedler and the Boston Pops ever did these songs, but if they did - they should have been included. If they were done, it would be nice to hear them on an updated version of this collection. Some of these tunes are available on other classics collection, but Fiedler's Orchestra was the best at playing this music, so I would have liked to have heard it here.

        The other thing that disappoints me are some of the selections themselves. Most of the tunes do keep to the sound you would expect from the Beatles, but some do not sound as good as I would expect. "With a Little Help From My Friends" just doesn't sound much like the original tune. The song that I consider the signature song by the Beatles - "Hey Jude" is an extreme disappointment - it just doesn't capture the magic of the original song. Songs like "Michelle" and "And I Love Her" do keep to the Beatles sound, but they somehow miss the mark. Perhaps these two songs aren't the best songs to be done with a Classical Orchestra.

        However, this collection is not all bad. There are some positive points that do shine. There are several songs which surprise me on how well they sounded being played in the classical sense. "Eleanor Rigby" is one of those. You can feel a lot of power and emotion with that song. Another song that surprises me how well it sounds being played as a classical piece is "Penny Lane". Fiedler is also able to demonstrate a lot of power by playing by playing "Penny Lane' as a classical piece. In "Yellow Submarine", Fiedler puts a military and marching band spin on the song. It gives the song a whole new dimension. As for my favorite piece on the collection - it has to be "Fool on the Hill". Somehow I almost like "Fool on the Hill" played as a classical piece better than how the Beatles do it. Other songs that sound good are a couple of the Beatles' earlier tunes - "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "A Hard Day's Night"

        It is worth noting that there are some live versions of these songs included with Fiedler's studio recordings. In particular there are live versions of "And I Love Her" and "A Hard Day's Night". There are also multiple versions of the same song included. You will hear three different recordings of "I Want To Hold Your Hand" (one from 1964 and two from 1969 - you will hear a change in tempo). There are also two versions of "A Hard Day's Night" (the live 1965 version and a 1969 studio recording). Counting the live and studio versions - there are also two versions of "And I Love Her".

        It is also worth noting that on the final song (the third version of "I Want To Hold Your Hand"), there is a spoken introduction by Arthur Fiedler which is about 1 minute long in which Fiedler explains why he started playing Beatles music. The liner notes contain a one panel writeup by Peter Dellheim that discuss a little more background about the success Fiedler has had playing the Beatles.

        Overall, this isn't a bad collection. I had higher expectations knowing how good a conductor Arthur Fiedler is as well as knowing how good many of the Beatles' songs would have sounded. This might appeal to the Beatles fan wanting to hear songs Classical, and possibly even vice versa - but if you want to go deeper with the Beatles being played classical, you may have to go elsewhere.
