Symphonicity

I can only summarise my experience in the Sting concert as one of the best gigs I’ve been so far. It’s amazing the new dimension that the 45 piece Royal Philharmonic Orchestra gave to his classics. And to make the night even special he couldn’t choose a better venue than the Royal Albert Hall.

Sting was in control of the audience the whole night, and delivered a vibrant and diverse repertoire, including songs from Police and his solo career. Hits like Fields of gold, Every little thing she does is magic, Roxanne, Next to you, If I ever lose my faith in you, Shape of my heart, King of pain, Englishman in New York, Every breath you take, and many others filled more than two hours of great music with amazing and new arrangements that got the audience wanting for more.

If you are unable of going to any of his presentations I would suggest you to at least buy the CD of the tour.

This symphonic experience reminds me the Seinfeld episode “The Maestro”.

Kramer: You know you hurt the Maestro's feelings.

Jerry: Oh what, because I didn't call him "Maestro"?

Kramer: That's right.

Jerry: You know, I feel a little funny calling somebody "Maestro."

Kramer: Why?

Jerry: Because it's a stupid thing to be called.

Kramer: Jerry, he's a conductor.

Jerry: Oh, conductor. He conducts the Policeman's Benevolent Association Orchestra.
