Paul Schwartz is one of those rare composer/producers whose unique
musical impulses are blessedly hard to categorize, even as they engage the
feet and seduce the soul. His first two recordings, his 1997 debut Aria
and its sequel Aria, Vol. 2: New Horizen — which spent a combined two
years plus on Billboard's Classical Crossover chart — blended ambient
dance grooves with live orchestra and recomposed snippets from familiar
operatic pieces.
Paul is a son of the songwriter Arthur Schwartz, began his career in classical
music, becoming assistant conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
While continuing to work in the classical world, he also crossed over to
the musical theater, working as musical director for such shows as Andrew
Lloyd Webber's Song & Dance and The Phantom of the Opera. In the 1990s,
he was signed as a recording artist to Astor Place Records and in 1997 released
Aria, which became a considerable success in the field of classical crossover.
Revolution (1998) contained Schwartz's arrangements of Beatles songs, and
Aria 2: New Horizon (2000) was another hit on the classical crossover charts.
The religiously oriented State of Grace (2000), released on Windham Hill
Records, scored on the new age charts. In May 2002, under the name the Paul
Schwartz Project, the composer/conductor released Earthbound, his first
album to consist entirely of his own compositions. Meanwhile, he continued
to conduct and score occasional independent films. View his albums on Allmusic.com
