Plays the Orchestral Jethro Tull

Jethro Tull Frontman Ian Anderson Approached the Performance of These Tull Classics Not with an Eye to Replicate all the "Rock Group with Orchestra" Discs that Pervaded the Marketplace at the Turn of the Century, but as One Acoustic Musician Playing with a Group of Mostly Other Acoustic Musicians. This was an Exercise of Love to Highlight the Power of Tull Music in a Classical Setting, but in No Way Compromising the Louder Portions of the Compositions. Each Musician was Chosen to Participate Based on their Understanding of the Complex Workings of the Tull Compositions. Thus, These Performances Are Among the Most Heartfelt Ever of the Group's Work. The Classical Musicians Come from the Frankfurt Neue Philharmonic Orchestra, Conducted by John O'hara Along with James Duncan on Drums, David Goodier on Bass and Glockenspiel, O'hara Himself on Keyboards and Accordion and Florian Ophahle on Acoustic and Electric Guitars...and Anderson Himself on Flute and Vocals.
