Pete Townshend's Classic Quadrophenia - Live from the Royal Albert Hall -Blu-ray-

Product Description A stunning concert captured in July of 2015 at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall. This orchestral presentation of The Who s 1973 groundbreaking album and seminal rock opera features performances by Pete Townshend, Billy Idol, Phil Daniels (the original star of the film, Quadrophenia) and British tenor Alfie Boe. This magnificent work, orchestrated by Pete s partner and composer in her own right Rachel Fuller, is also performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Robert Ziegler, and London s Oriana Choir. Review Townshend has always been a master craftsman, so his songs are able to carry the weight of instrumentation, and Fuller s arrangements are sensitive and loyal to the original music throughout. They prove that it is possible to turn Quadrophenia into a classical work . . . --The Guardian . . . [Townshend] made a rapturously welcomed cameo during the pivotal ''The Punk And The Godfather'' . . . The water metaphors reminiscent of Vaughan Williams turned Townshend's magnum opus into a celebration of Britishness . . . Quadrophenia's place in the classical canon is assured. --Independent There was immense pleasure to be had in hearing this fantastic music through another prism . . . The audience was rapturously impressed, with standing ovations all round. --The Daily Telegraph
