## Description

Souping up the classics with whatever contemporary music pulse is current at the moment has a long history. Some artists, like Emerson, Lake and Palmer, aspired to classical grandiosity. Others, like Michael Murphy and his discofied "A Fifth of Beethoven," turn classical melodies into pop hooks. Paul Schwartz falls somewhere in the middle with his Aria project, of which this is the third. Electronica grooves and effects angle their way through songs "based" on operatic works by Handel, Verdi, Puccini, and Monteverdi. Schwartz begins with a bar set high by some of these melodies, beautifully sung by soprano Rebecca Luker. Whether singing solo or in multi-tracked choirs, her voice opens heavens' gates, but she has to slog through some pedestrian arrangements to get there. Schwartz understands the difference between an orchestra and a synthesizer and with only a few exceptions--like the cheesy opening to "Ombra Ma Fu"--deploys each in appropriate measures. "Ascension," based on a Monteverdi aria is particularly striking with its underlying electronic ostinatos cycling through the breathtaking refrain. But too often, Schwartz's strings are saccharine and his rhythms clichéd in a music that uses high art only to reach for the facile. Like most classical-pop crossovers, time usually renders a verdict of kitsch in the first degree. --John Diliberto

    Aria Three
  

*by P***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2015*

The Aria series is a haunting modernized tribute to opera, and beautiful music in general. This is a great effort, and you are sure to recognize some of the melodies. The vocals by Rebecca Luker are very strong and leave a lasting impression. Very Sarah Brightman-esq.Here is the complete listing of TracksOmbra mai fu (after Handel's Serse)  -  AriaFurioso (after Handel's Sarabande)  -  AriaSogno (after Puccini's La Rondine)  -  AriaMetamorphosis 2: Danae  -  AriaBallo (after Verdi's Ballo in Maschera)  -  AriaInterlude: L'Orchestre Engloutie  -  AriaAmami (after Verdi's La Traviata)  -  AriaLascia (after Handel's Rinaldo)  -  AriaFarewell (after Puccini's Madama Butterfly)  -  AriaMetamorphosis 3: Cyane  -  AriaAscension (after Monteverdi's L'Incoronazione di Poppea)  -  AriaMetamorphosis 1: Arachne  -  AriaFurioso (after Handel's Sarabande)  -  AriaOmbra mai fu (after Handel's Serse)  -  AriaAnd for the hard core Paul Schwartz and Aria follower, here is a list of all the players.Paul Schwartz  Primary Artist,Piano,ConductorMark Berrow  ViolinHugh Burns  GuitarCaroline Dale  CelloLiz Edwards  ViolinGarfield Jackson  ViolaGavyn Wright  Violin,Concert MasterDermot Crehan  ViolinMary Scully  BassKatherine Shave  ViolinBen Chappell  CelloPeter Lale  ViolaPatrick Kiernan  ViolinBoguslaw Kostecki  ViolinJackie Shave  ViolinBruce White  ViolaRebecca Luker  VocalsPaul Gardham  Bass,Horn,French HornJulian Leaper  ViolinRebecca Hirsch  ViolinRachel Bolt  ViolaWarren Zielinski  ViolinPaddy Lannigan  BassSimon Fischer  ViolinNaomi Wright  CelloZoe Lake  ViolaJoyful Company of Singers  Choir, Chorus,Vocal EnsembleBeatrix Lovejoy  ViolinStephen Orton  CelloPerry Montague-Mason  ViolinJacqueline Shave  ViolinNicholas Rodwell  ClarinetMichelle Ivey  VocalsBenedict Cruft  ViolinChristopher Tombling  ViolinBoguslav Kostecki  ViolinDavid Woodcock  ViolinJonathan Williams  CelloPeter Hanson  Violin

    Fantastic , romantic, moving music!
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2020*

This is like a new and better, upbeat classical music along with some remarkable  voices !  Every time I play it, after several  songs, especially in the car, almost everyone will ask "who is this..it's so beautiful!"  I find it relaxing, but I also play it when I need motivation to clean!..I have requested several of the songs to be played at my"celebration of Life".Avia Maria is so incredible , I don't think you could find a song anywhere as moving! I plan on ordering severalmore for gifts and an extra for me!

    ARIA 3 is a  new take on  classical music another Amazon purchase
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2012*

I love classical music and ARIA 3's numbers are based on some of the great classical composers. My taste in music is very eclectic so this fits right in, and I can actually listen to this cd while driving. I can't drive while listening to meditation music. I first heard this cd while shopping in my favorite crystal store and it was playing in the background. The voice sounds almost angelic,(or maybe like a mermaid would sound while enticing sailors) Anyway I, recommend this cd as a great background music experience. I even play it on my housecleaning sprees. Once again thank you Amazon for carrying the great music selections that you do, and for the great service.
