Title: Too many cooks spoil the broth (such as it may be).
Product review: Strip away the various ghostwriters and what would you get? Probably very little, but at least not this soulless mish-mash.(Let's reconsider this remark: "Gershwin's endlessly inventive piano take-offs of his hit tunes come to mind as examples of a composer who took his own hit tunes and did something fresh with them." Note please that George Gershwin arranged these HIMSELF. Note please that George Gershwin PLAYED these himself. I see no basis for comparison with the Paul McCartney pop song arrangements included here whatsoever. In other words, it is quite beside the point that these string quartet arrangements are anything but "endlessly inventive". Neither, by the way, should we compare a Paul McCartney pop song to a George Gershwin pop song: Gershwin's pop songs are GOOD pop songs, not "Junk".)
