"Selections will include fan-favorites such as 'Roxanne', 'Next To You', 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' and 'Every Breath You Take', to notable songs from Sting's enduring solo career - 'Englishman in New York', 'Fragile', 'Russians', 'If I Ever Lose My Faith in You', 'Fields of Gold', and 'Desert Rose.'

Interesting. You mean to say there might be orchestrated Police tunes? I'm not sure how I feel about that, but would like to hear opinions.

Exactly, an orchestra version of Next to you. Interesting. Now to do it live he would NOT need permission from the band as far as I know but to put that out on record he would. And I cant imagine Stewart is into this concept - I could be wrong though. I found it interesting how he earlier had admitted that his record company had suggested a christmas record and he thought about it and came up with the winter idea. Do you think the record company came up with the orchestra idea....could be as he has done two deutcshe grammaphone releases in a row here.

I can't say one way or the other, but I can say that if the record co. is suggesting album ideas then he has either completely run out of creative juice or there is something else going on. Someone else who has a better understanding of the music business world can hopefully provide more insight. I hope it goes over well for him, I just... feel pretty conflicted, the same as his last few albums. Though, admittedly, I STILL think the lute idea was really cool.

I think Sting has writer's block and has had it for quite some time. Either that, or he simply has the money for these vanity projects and chooses to do them. I didn't care for Sacred Love, the lute album or the winter album. They just weren't the style of music I like. Same with the upcoming orchestra music. I don't listen to orchestra music now. I'm not sure why I would start just because it's Sting. Yeah, sure, I love the songs. But if I want to hear them, I will listen to the originals. And why the extra vocalist? How many of the songs is she going to sing? I especially don't want to hear any Police songs in symphony style. Some Sting songs (Russians, FOG, Fragile) will probably translate well. It's just a "language" I don't care to hear. I will probably pass unless the reviews are soooo stellar that I feel like I'm missing out on something unprecedented.
