Jacksonilta klassinen levy?

He said, ‘I’m making a CD.’ Then his son, Prince Michael, came in, and Michael asked him to find a CD player. Paris found one and brought it in with Prince. Michael played the CD. It was very pretty music. He said, ‘But a section is missing.’ He played a second piece. And he said, ‘But a section is missing, too. But I can hum it to you.’ I asked if there was a piano in the house, and he said there was one in the pool house. We headed out there, but Michael stopped when he saw the dog was outside, soaking wet from being in the pool. He didn't want us to get splattered. It was kind of funny. Michael got another assistant to hold the dog while we went to his pool house.
I sat at the piano and Michael hummed the missing part of one of the pieces. I had taken a little digital recorder with me and asked if I could record him. He was in perfect pitch. I tried to figure out chords to go with it as he hummed. He said, ‘Your instincts are totally right about the chords.’
We talked about classical music some more. I played some Debussy pieces. Michael seemed very happy and I think he felt very comfortable with me. He mentioned Leonard Bernstein again, and I played some of West Side Story. He told me he had met Bernstein once and that Bernstein had said he was a big fan of Michael’s.
Back in the house, whenever he’d go from room to room, you’d hear, ‘I love you, Daddy.’ ‘I love you, Paris.’ They all seemed pretty normal and happy.
Michael was very anxious to get the pieces orchestrated and record the music with a big orchestra. I suggested we record it at the Fox, Sony or Warner Brothers lot. I asked if he could have someone call me to discuss the budget and he said he would take care of it. When I left there were several fans outside the gate.
[Later] I talked to Michael on the phone. He asked me how the project was going and I said I was waiting to hear from someone so we could set the deal. I suggested we could record the music in London while he was doing the show there. He liked the idea. He again brought up Arabesque.
I laid the music all out on my computer and started on the orchestrations. Finally, a week before Michael died, his manager, Frank Dileo, called and asked me for an email with the budget and an electronic mock-up of the music, the costs of orchestration.
Now I have no idea what’s going to happen with this. I’m hoping the family will do something to get this done. I will not bring it up [with them] until after what I think is an appropriate time.
My guess is that each piece would be seven to ten minutes long. [Each one] is more substantial than a song. It’s very pretty music. One piece had an Irish quality about it. I suggested that we could use a Celtic harp. The pieces sound like pretty film score music, with very traditional harmony, and definitely very strong melodies. One of them was a little John Barry-ish, like in Out of Africa -- that kind of John Barry score. I could hear [in my head] sweeping strings and French horns in unison.
I told Michael I was going to use one of Leonard Bernstein’s batons I had bought at auction when we did the recording. I knew he would have gotten a big kick out of that. I guess I still will use that baton if I ever get to conduct the music.

suomeksi kiitos :D olisin erittäin kiitollinen, koska mua kiinnostaa tämä aihe valtavasti.

Lyhyesti.

- Michael alkoi tekemään klassista albumia ennen kuolemaansa.

- TV ja elokuva säveltäjä ja kapellimestari David Michael Frankin oli tarkoitus orkestroida Michaelin kirjoittamat kappaleet.

- Michael kertoi Frankille kuunnelleensa paljon klassista musiikkia.

- Michael soitti Frankille säveltämäänsä klassista musiikkia ja kertoi, että siitä puuttui vielä osia. Frank päätti äänittää, kun Michael hyräili puuttuvat osat kappaleista.

- Frank alkoi orkestroida kappaleita ja viikko ennen Michaelin kuolemaa manageri Frank Dileo soitti ja kysyi paljonko orkestrointi tulisi maksamaan.

- Frank ei ole varma, mitä musiikille tulee tapahtumaan. Frank toivoo, että Jacksonin perhe tekee jotain, että tämä projekti saadaan kokonaan valmiiksi.

- Frank arvelee, että jokainen kappale olisi 7-10 minuutin pituinen.

- Frank aikoo julkaista musiikin vasta sitten, kun hänestä tuntuu sopivalta ajalta.

Minä kiitän ja kumarran suomentamisen vaivaa nähnyttä henkilöä

Luultavasti kyse oli instrumentaalimusasta mutta en epäile etteikö Jacksonin rahkeet olisi riittänyt kunnon klassiseenkin. Ei sekään nyt musiikkia kummempaa ole, itsekin klassista säveltäneenä tiedän sen.

Aika kovia olette tuomitsemaan, kun koko levyä ei ole vielä edes julkaistu saati virallisesti vahvistettukkaan Sony Musicin puolelta. Olette varmaan Sony Musicilla töissä, kun jo etukäteen lyttäätte sen huonoksi? Odotetaan nyt ensin, että levy julkaistaan ja arvostellaan se vasta sitten. Siihen mennessä kommenteillanne ei ole mitään arvoa.

Wauu odotan!!!
