If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Description

2015 release. An exciting revisit of Elvis’ work, If I Can Dream focuses on
the iconic artist’s unmistakable voice, emphasizing the pure power of The King
of Rock and Roll. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London with acclaimed
producers Don Reedman and Nick Patrick, the 14-track album features Elvis’
most dramatic original performances augmented with lush new arrangements by
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. “This would be a dream come true for Elvis,”
Priscilla Presley says of the project. “He would have loved to play with such
a prestigious symphony orchestra. The music… The force that you feel with
his voice and the orchestra is exactly what he would have done.” Don Reedman
also commented, “Abbey Road Studios and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra are
as good as it gets and Elvis deserves as good as it gets.” The album features
a scintillating duet with best-selling jazz-pop singer Michael Bublé on
“Fever.” The album also includes additional contributions by Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame guitarist Duane Eddy adding his signature sound to “An American
Trilogy” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” and Italian operatic pop trio Il
Volo lending their outstanding vocals to “It’s Now or Never.” As arranger Nick
Patrick said, “This is the record he would have loved to make.” If I Can Dream
also highlights Elvis Presley’s diverse musical tastes and appreciation for
great vocalists spanning a variety of genres from standards to opera.
