Pop Songs

Description

«POP SONGS» showcases the incredible artistic talent of cellist Jan Vogler with the BBC Philharmonic & Omer Meier Wellber. In this program covering a period of nearly 500 years, Jan Vogler has recorded the most beautiful and popular vocal pieces from Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Bizet, Mozart to those of the Beatles, Gary Moore, and Michael Jackson. For this special project, he teams up with the BBC Philharmonic and conductor Omer Meier Wellber. The pieces have been specially arranged for cello and orchestra, bringing them to life in unprecedented splendor. The BBC Philharmonic beautifully highlights Jan Vogler, while Omer Meier Wellber plays the accordion in a sublime version of Monteverdi's «Pur ti miro». Vogler has chosen the most delightful pieces from operas such as Dido and Aeneas, Carmen, or The Magic Flute. He also does not hesitate to revisit favorite pieces from the 20th century like «Summertime» from Porgy and Bess, «It was a very good year» by Frank Sinatra, or «Billie Jean» by Michael Jackson.
