Beatles ’91 pt3

It’s summer 1991 and Paul McCartney is celebrating the release of a major musical milestone 30 decades in the making. The Liverpool Oratorio marks Macca’s debut on the classical music stage for the first time in full-length form, fulfilling in many ways the promise of songs like Yesterday and Eleanor Rigby nearly 30 years prior. Together with composer Carl Davis, the Liverpool Oratorio was received with open arms by audiences and critics alike, many fresh off of paul’s 89/90 world tour and primed for new music - albeit with a sizable genre shift.
