"... McCartney's first work for dance may be the most satisfying of his classical pieces ... (he) undeniably has an ear for melody."
- The Independent
"What's on offer is agreeably tuneful and sometimes stimulating music, with undeniably sumptuous orchestral sound ... the ultimate impression is of music with a rightful place in the British light orchestral tradition."
- Gramophone
"... has plenty of color and melody. Curiously, it sounds as if it had been composed in the neo-Romantic era before the Beatles: some of its most expansive tunes have hints of Borodin and Samuel Barber; some of its atmospheres evoke Ravel; its jolliest passages are on the cusp of Bernstein’s Candide.
- The New York Times
Paul McCartney was commissioned to compose this four-movement orchestral ballet score by the New York City Ballet. While he was not a newcomer to classical music, Ocean's Kingdom marks McCartney's first foray into the world of ballet music. This deluxe edition includes a second album of the entire ballet performed live by the New York City Ballet Orchestra, conducted by Fayçal Karoui, recorded at the ballet's premiere in 2011.
