Orchestra Version of Prince Songs

I was downloading songs when I started to download orchastra versions of Prince songs. The Question of U stuck out as the best to me so far but using AudioGalaxey there is an orchestra called: "The Classic Metropolitan Orchestra" and they do like 15 Prince songs. I bet they have an albumn out. i probably look pretty stupid right now if they do. Anyways, just thought I would let ya know in case ya didn't. They are pretty cool. Go check em out.

Peace

I've got the Classic Metropolitan Orchestra album, which is from 1997. It's decent enough, but I reckon the choir voices ruin it!!!

The Question Of U is cool, and I like Nothing Compares 2 U (on account of its lack of any tacky vocals), although it's quite Sinead O'Connor-ish.

Seems the orchestra had something for Graffiti Bridge, having also done Thieves In The Temple and Melody Cool.


Geronimo!

I agree, I would have liked if they just did the music, cuz yeah...you just can't duplicate the voice or passion of Prince and his lyrics.

I bought it from a 2.hand store several years ago.

But it wasn't worth that money.
