Townshend, Pete - Classic Quadrophenia

NEW VINYL LP ON DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON RECORDS 2015

2 X 180 GRAM VINYL

New Orchestral Version of The Who's Classic 1973 Album Quadrophenia Created by Pete Townshend
Featuring The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Conducted by Robert Ziegler & Orchestrated by Rachel Fuller
As a leading icon of the British music revolution of the 1960s, Pete Townshend made his name by creating the power chord, smashing guitars onstage, and penning anthems of teenage rebellion like "My Generation." Now, at almost 70 years old and half a century after he penned the archetypal rock lyric “Hope I die before I get old,” Townshend has created a “classical” version of one of The Who’s landmark albums – Quadrophenia – for a symphony orchestra, opera singer and choir. Recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in October 2014 at London’s legendary Air Studios, the new incarnation of this classic rock opera is conducted by Robert Ziegler and features popular British tenor Alfie Boe on vocals, with Townshend himself on electric guitar and performing cameo vocal roles. Townshend will reprise his roles at the live world premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in London on July 5th, 2015, alongside the RPO, Ziegler, Boe and other star guests.
