Commentaire : by Scooter

« In the Spring of 2009, Sting was approached to perform a concert of his songs
with the illustrious Chicago Symphony. He had never been asked to put together
an entire program of symphonic music.  Sting passed on the event, because putting
together a concert of that magnitude required help.

He sought and received his help from Dave Hartley, a pianist on many Sting albums.
The idea was re-arrange all the songs for orchestra.  The beat in an orchestra is
elusive, as there is no down beat, and little clue where the measures begin and end.
To provide guidance he selected world famous conductor Steven Mercurio which was
combined with a triple dose of percussion, from both orchestral percussion to a
drummer and a dedicated percussionist.  With that rhythmic backgroud, Mercurio
tethered eight arrangers to the 30 songs, including Dave Hartley, Rob Mathes,
Vince Mendoza, Jorge Calandrelli, Nicola Tescari, Robert Sadin and Daniel Barridge,
Michael Legrand, and Bill Ross.  Those arrangers added string quartets to many of
the arrangements.

To compliment the music, Sting engaged Art Director Robert Molnar who retained
five artists who put together an avant guard light show from three massive monitors
with drizzling forms of color and shape, like three giant lava lamps.  Each artist
was assigned various tracks to display their moving art. The light shows are accompanied
by special lighting as well. »
