They all are really good, this just happens to hot a special note so to speak with me.Creator Paul Schwartz's second effort after chart-topping ARIA stays true to its original format: fresh arrangements of popular operatic arias in which the voice floats over swelling orchestrations and ambient dance grooves. The track Ave Maria is amazing.
Aria uses popular melodies from Carmen, Madame Butterfly, The Magic Flute, Dido, Aeneas, and others. Music was composed by Paul Schwartz at the renowned Abbey Road Studio #1. All those involved are the best in the this field. Paul Schwartz (born 1956) is an American record producer, composer, arranger, conductor, and pianist. The basic elements of which are voice, piano, violin, and electronic samples. He has collaborated with vocalists Lisbeth Scott and Rebecca Luker, performing on many songs.
