New album: Beach Boys With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

July

For the fans of more classical sound, there is no better summer music than the Beach Boys. Their song Good Vibrations, described as a “pocket symphony” by its author, is with almost no exception on every list of the best and most influential songs. Brian Willson’s style as a composer, which includes highly sophisticated construction of musical elements, as well as his production expertise, has created a golden standard of pop-sound, and the sheet music of his compositions have been included in music textbooks for teaching harmony.

This summer we can enjoy a newly-released album where Beach Boys’ music is enriched with added orchestral arrangements by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The album took a short time to climb up the Billboard charts of classic albums and is currently holding the third place.

The composer and co-founder of Beach Boy, Brian Wilson, said about this project: “I always knew the vocal arrangements I did back in the Sixties would lend themselves perfectly for a symphony and there is no better one in the world than the Royal Philharmonic. I am both proud and humbled by what they have created using our songs and I hope everyone falls in love with it like I have.”
