David Byrne
Grown Backwards
(Nonesuch, 2004)

With True Stories, David Byrne made a movie about how weird Texans are. With Grown Backwards, he has made a CD about how eloquent Texans are - or at least the ones in the Tosca Strings. The Austin ensemble helps Mr. Byrne pull off his foray into classical-pop, including arias by Verdi ("Un dì felice, eterea" from La traviata) and Bizet ("Au fond du temple saint" from The Pearl Fishers).
