Extractions: SONY Classics They have come a long way since singing for donations in London's Covent Garden Piazza only a little over a year ago. Stadiums full of soccer fans across Europe cheer them now. When their album was released in England, they soared to the top of the classical charts and ruled there for three months. They look like rock divas, and they sing like angels - OperaBabes are ready to take America by storm with the release of their first recording Beyond Imagination, was released from Sony Classical on Tuesday, January 14, 2003. On Beyond Imagination, operatic and classical favorites get a new, exuberant twist from soprano Rebecca Knight and mezzo-soprano Karen England, the beautiful duo from the U.K. known as OperaBabes. The U.S. release of the album follows the OperaBabes' first American appearances October 9-12, 2002, at New York's legendary Café Carlyle, as part of the "Best of British Excellence" Festival, sponsored by Departures Magazine. Beyond Imagination begins with their first international hit "One Fine Day," which transforms Puccini's "Un bel di" from Madama Butterfly with a new musical treatment that features the Japanese drum ensemble Kodo. (England's ITV network chose "One Fine Day" as its World Cup theme this year.) A high-powered version of the famous Flower Duet from Lakmé (heard in British Airways' popular TV ads) called "Lakmé H2O" is included, as well as fresh takes on favorite selections from Carmen, Kismet, The Tales of Hoffmann, La Wally and Carmina Burana, and great melodies by Beethoven, Grieg, Dvorák, Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky.

Critic James Huneker wrote, "I never thought I should live to hear Arnold Schoenberg sound tame, yet tame he sounds - almost timid and halting - after Ornstein who is, most emphatically, the only true-blue, genuine, Futurist composer alive." George Antheil said in his autobiography Bad Boy of Music that when he gave concerts in the early '20s he included music by Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Milhaud, Auric, Honegger and Ornstein. Antheil also mentions that in 1922 he noticed Ornstein (a "fiery ultramodern pianist") was leaving the management of M. H. Hanson. After practicing around the clock each day for a month perfecting his technique, Antheil auditioned for Hanson and was accepted to replace Ornstein on Hanson's roster. No doubt Antheil and Ornstein were on the same wave length and respected each other.
