In Reply to: Perhaps. But, I do not believe that improvisation will stem the tide... posted by SE on April 8, 2007 at 12:21:51:
Uri Caine is a little too far out for me. However, Keith Jarrett has produced some creditable recordings of Bach and Handel in recent years, and is also composing classical scores. Chick Corea is also experimenting with classical compositions, and has colaborated with Bobby McFerrin on the works of Mozart.McFerrin is a unique performer with his improvised vocalizations of the classics. The following is a paragraph on his career as a classical conductor taken from an article in Wikipedia.com:
"In addition to his vocal performing career, Mr. McFerrin was appointed in 1994 as creative chair of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. He makes regular tours as a guest conductor for symphony orchestras throughout the United States and Canada. In his concert appearances, he combines serious conducting of classical pieces with his own unique vocal improvisations, often with participation from the audience and the orchestra. (For example, his concerts often end with McFerrin conducting the orchestra in an a capella rendition of the "William Tell Overture," in which the orchestra members sing their musical parts (i.e. "ta da dum, ta da dum, ta da dum dum dum") in McFerrin's vocal style, instead of playing their parts on their instruments.)"
