The long awaited release of McCartney's fourth classical album Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart), an Oratorio in four movements. Ecce Cor Meum has been more than eight years in the making after Anthony Smith (President of Magdalen College Oxford 1998 - 2005) invited Paul to compose something to commemorate the 550th anniversary of the foundation of the college in 1998. In November 2001, performed by Magdalen College Choir and conducted by Bill Ives, Ecce Cor Meum was given its first public airing at the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios between March 13th and 17th of this year, Ecce Cor Meum was performed by Kate Royal (soprano); The Boys of King's College Choir, Cambridge; The Boys of Magdalen College Choir, Oxford and The Academy of St Martin's in the Fields conducted by Gavin Greenway. It was produced by John Fraser.
