Dr Teleny's Incredible Plugged-in Orchestra: Stolen Goods
Ettore Stratta & the Baroque Pops: Viva Vivaldi!

A pair of very unusual albums – back to back on a single CD! Stolen Goods is a totally cool, totally groovy album from the 70s – one that features large orchestral arrangements of themes from the classics – but all augmented with plenty of wild contemporary touches! There's moogy electronics, funky drums, wordless vocals, and lots of other hip 70s elements – including the kind of horn section that would have made Mozart, Chopin, or Beethoven wince – had they lived long enough to hear the approach to their songs served up on this British album! From what we can tell, Dr Teleny is Zack Laurence – who's billed as the musical director on the album – serving up transformed tunes with titles that include "Power Play", "Wild Turkey", "Rhapsody From Hunger", "Superjoy", "Johann Sebastian Rock", and "The People Yes". Next up is Viva Vivaldi, served up by Italian conductor Ettore Stratta – who you'll know from both sound track and easy instrumental modes – getting a lot of hip help here from arranger Chico O'Farrill! The songs are all from Vivaldi – as you'd guess from the title – but Chico's charts add in plenty of sweet 70s touches, including electric bass, keyboards, and other instrumentation that moves things way past the baroque generation – even making some tunes groove in a surprising way. There's still enough strings in play to tie the songs to classical roots – and titles include "Gloria Allegro", "Mandolin Concerto In C Adagio", "Suite From Four Seasons", "Flute Concerto In D", "Concerto In E", and "Concerto In G For Two Mandolins".
