An anthology of George Martin's sound productions before the advent of the Beatles; before the collaboration that would change popular music forever. He re-defined the role of producer; pioneering the recording itself as an art form. This edition is testament to a elegant, fearless musical innovator. The surrealistic, sometimes free-form recordings he created with comic geniuses Sellers, Milligan, Cribbins and Ustinov involved sound effects and collage. These madcap sonic adventures, allied to his understanding of the workings of an orchestra, his contacts within the classical fraternity, his love of the romantic and impressionist composers, and his fascination with studio experimentation made George Martin uniquely able to provide a particular objectivity and realise what the ever-curious Beatles, or any artist, would ask of him. As head of Parlophone, determined to explode the label onto the scene, he sought artists of character; taking mobile recording units out to capture Flanders And Swann's two-man show and the irreverent satirical revue, Beyond The Fringe. The Top Five was breached in 1960 both by Matt Monro and by Peter Sellers And Sophia Loren. George Martin's first UK Number One single, and an exemplar, was 'You're Driving Me Crazy' by The Temperance Seven who combined a revival of popular music from the 20s with styles from the Edwardian era.","brand":"El Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46251731353683,"sku":"2519664X","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4137213.jpg?v=1789307476"},{"product_id":"velvet-revolution-sound-productions-impressionist-influences-5013929338234","title":"Velvet Revolution Sound Productions \u0026 Impressionist Influences","description":"George Martin's work with the Beatles defined the sixties and changed music forever. As Paul McCartney said, 'if anyone was the fifth Beatle it was him' During the 1950's, Martin, a great appreciator of quirkiness, established the Parlophone label with a sequence of ingenious comedy records by The Goons, Peter Ustinov and Flanders and Swann; a precocious formula which caught the mood of the time and yielded hits for Bernard Cribbins and Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren. Then, in 1961, while George was in Cambridge recording Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller in the groundbreaking satirical revue, Beyond the Fringe, came news of of the label's first Number One hit, 'You're Driving Me Crazy' by the whimsical 1920's-style dance band, The Temperance Seven. Martin described his productions as \"Sound Pictures\". He would coax a performance from the artist, the result sometimes embellished by sound effects and other imaginative acoustic devices. The techniques George mastered while creating comedy records had everything to do with the production triumphs that would follow with The Beatles. When the band retired from touring and determined to concentrate on making albums with a pioneering approach to the whole new art of pop, Martin was well equipped to meet the group's challenging sonic demands and to propose a good many initiatives of his own; whether in the string quartet setting for 'Yesterday', or when taking an orchestra into uncharted musical waters for 'A Day In the Life'. George Martin had a very particular affection for the Impressionist composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. He claimed the former's 'Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune' was the piece that decided him on a career in music and saw 'Strawberry Fields Forever' as a Debusseyesque tone poem. For George, Ravel was \"one of the greatest orchestrators of all time\", with the \"choreographic symphony\", 'Daphnis and Chloe' a particular favourite. This 3CD presentation comprises all of George Martin's productions for the Temperance Seven, the sheer surrealist-comic electricity he captured of Beyond the Fringe, (including the original chart album) and a selection of works by Debussy and Ravel, including Igor Markevitch's account of Debussy's 'Faun' made at Abbey Road and 'Daybreak' from Pierre Monteux's ravishing 'Daphnis and Chloe' with the London Symphony Orchestra.","brand":"El Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46284179112019,"sku":"2746428X","price":25.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4455882.jpg?v=1789455091"},{"product_id":"and-i-love-her-5026854371542","title":"...And I Love Her","description":"Legendary Beatles producer George Martin presents orchestral interpretations associated with the Lennon-McCartney songbook, transforming familiar melodies through his sophisticated arranging style.","brand":"Rhino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46363572306003,"sku":"2850343X","price":13.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4543603.jpg?v=1793449893"},{"product_id":"off-the-beatle-track-5026854371504","title":"Off The Beatle Track","description":"George Martin \u0026amp; His Orchestra - OFF THE BEATLE TRACK \/ Off The Beatle Track was the first of a series of orchestral releases by George Martin and his first ever release under his own name.
