Simon & Garfunkel / Milot / Bareil – Classical Tribute (CD)

The songwriting partnership of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel produced some of the most melodically rich and lyrically precise music of the 20th century, a catalog that translates surprisingly naturally to classical chamber treatment. Violinist Angélique Milot and pianist Élise Bareil bring a conservatory sensibility to songs like "The Sound of Silence" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water," revealing the harmonic architecture beneath familiar arrangements.
