4.0 out of 5 stars Behold His Heart, 26 Sep 2006

By	S. HENNING (Belfast, Co Antrim United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ecce Cor Meum: Behold My Heart (Audio CD)

Paul McCartney never ceases to amaze. If a picture paints a thousand words then McCartney's latest work, Ecce Cor Meum, would easily fill a dictionary. Forget all the mawkishness of previous McCartney offerings as Ecce Cor Meum has a beauty and a melodic simplicity that transcends the twee and sentimental. For within its 56 minutes lies a genuine attempt to express the spirituality that all of us possess and that which obviously underpins Paul McCartney's life.

Worthy of special mention is Interlude (Lament) - composed with his former wife Linda in mind, and probably the most hauntingly beautiful piece on the CD. I challenge anyone not to be moved to tears by it.

All in all, Ecce Cor Meum is a worthwhile piece of music that will only get better with each successive listening. As he says in the final track, "Here in my music I show you my heart". I think he has.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mmm... sadly not very good, 17 Nov 2006

By	J. Baldwin "Reader" (Dundee, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm both a McCartney fan and a classical music lover and I had high hopes for this, and the opening few minutes are promising. But it quickly descends into a rhythmic mish-mash with a core theme being nothing more than a descending scale sung at a quirky pace. It would work wonderfully in a song as a great hook, but I don't think Macca quite gets the developmental aspect of long works like this.

One of his failings in this, the Oratorio and Standing Stone is his use of his own words. They're simply not very good, and they distract. I suspect that if the Liverpool Oratorio were sung in a language I didn't understand, I'd love it. As it is, it's painful. The same with the end of the (otherwise wonderful) Standing Stone, and with this work.

Yet listen to Working Classical and you can see that McCartney's ear for a melody works wonderfully when engaged on shorter works such as 'Leaf'.

The best classical composers had good editors, people who would say 'this doesn't work'. I wonder if this piece went through an editor? It's promising, but it doesn't deliver. A real shame, but one for completists (like me) only.

5.0 out of 5 stars Listen to his Heart, 4 Nov 2006

By	Mrs. Catherine J. Young (U.K.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ecce Cor Meum: Behold My Heart (Audio CD)

I attended the premiere of Ecce cor Meum last night and was transported by the almost unbearable beauty of this piece. Paul McCartney has surpassed himself with this comositional arrangement, which is far more sophisticated and moving than anything he has atempted before. Almost transcendental in its soaring spirituality the choirs, orchestra and soloist combine indeed to move music onto another level. In this piece, the words almost say everything,but listen to Paul Mc Cartney,'s heart and you will hear all that is in his soul - music.
