Experience a bold departure from the iconic rock sounds of the Beatles with Paul McCartney’s Standing Stone, an expansive four-movement symphonic poem released in 1997. Orchestrated by Lawrence Foster and performed by the esteemed London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, this ambitious work stands as a testament to McCartney's diverse creative vision.
Spanning over 75 minutes, Standing Stone navigates a wide sonic landscape, ranging from neo-romantic gestures and evocative modal melodies to minimalist passages. The composition culminates in the powerful, chorus-led theme "Celebration," which serves as the work's grand, anthemic finale.
