Classic Quadrophenia

Reseña del editor An orchestral presentation of The Who's 1973 groundbreaking album and seminal rock opera, featuring performances by Pete Townshend, Billy Idol, Phil Daniels (the original star of the film, Quadrophenia) and British tenor Alfie Boe. This magnificent work chronicles the British Mods of the 60's, the joys and pains of young adulthood, and the familiar feelings of loneliness and longing for love and human connection. The Who have 6M Facebook followers and 400k Twitter followers. Críticas Conductor Robert Ziegler remembers seeing The Who while he was growing up in Los Angeles and later met Townshend while working on a radio documentary about film- maker Ken Russell, who directed the film version of Tommy. It s very interesting when an orchestra comes together with rock musicians with a different frame of reference, and when you get people that are really at the top of their field to make music together, everyone is happy. --Robert ZieglerAlfie Boe, who sings the parts originally sung by Roger Daltrey, was also born in 1973 but has been listening to Quadrophenia for years. It s in my blood. I grew up on rock music and always had that fantasy of being a rock singer before I trained as an opera singer. I ve always thought the classical voice can lend itself to this type of repertoire. It s harder than opera, but thrilling to sing. The music is so full of excitement, positivity and strength I wouldn t separate it from a symphony by Beethoven or Mozart. --Alfie BoeCommenting on Alfie Boe taking the lead role, Townshend says: Alfie is a true star, who gives every performance his all. He reminds me of Roger Daltrey in that he s also a real pleasure to work with. I never thought I d hear a classical tenor singing my songs, and for them to work so well but Alfie makes it happen. He s a funny man too, and good looking. The girls like him. I can t wait to be on stage with him. I m going to push him into the orchestra pit. --Pete Townshend
