Under the hand of Peter Breiner, however unlikely their disguise, these Beatles favourites, shorn of their words, and strangely enhanced by their Baroque setting, retain the simplistic, modal clarity of Lennon and McCartney’s originals. Re-arranged in their classical guise they are made to sound even more nostalgic, almost improved by some time-honoured process of alchemy. These favourite anthems of the 1960s in this fresh and unique setting still have the power to transport us “over the hills and far away”.
