Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Old School, the new album from New York City's East Village Opera Company is an album 300 years in the making. Using a few centuries worth of opera's greatest hits as their launching point, the album took 12 months and 14 engineers to record and involved 65 involved musicians in 10 different studios around the world. EVOC has once again taken a selection of opera arias and re-imagined them as popular songs, using full symphony orchestra, R&B horns, and choir alongside the group's guitars, drums, keyboards, string quartet, and singers. Arias by Verdi, Puccini, Bach, Mozart, and Wagner collide with Rock and Roll, R&B, 60's and 70's Pop, Surf, and Soul in an explosive mosaic of sound that is deliciously eclectic and singularly cohesive at the same time. As filtered through the group's irreverent sensibility, a seemingly bad idea (rock meets opera) comes off as a triumphant celebration of all music in a musical highwire act that deftly balances tradition and renewal.

- Possibly the best CD in my collection!
Words fail, so this won't be long. I've heard modern takes on classical music before and was severely underwhelmed. After hearing this music on a NPR program, I could tell someone finally got it right. The musicianship and arranging are near perfect and the variety of styles (influenced by Led Zeppelin, The Who, Queen, and many others) kept me interested from start to finish. I couldn't be happier to stumble on this gem.

- Fantastic Group
This is a great CD and it gets even better if you have seen the East Village Opera Comany's new show which showcases the music in this new CD. The group has outstanding instrumentalists and the two vocalists (Tyley Ross and AnnMarie Milazzo) are supurb. In fact, the entire band is outstanding. Great work by the whole group

This CD is far more meaningful if you have seen the band in person. They are very impressive. The sound at a live performance is hard to duplicate on a CD. I ... Read More
