The most popular vocal pieces throughout the centuries newly arranged for cello and orchestra from Monteverdi to Michael Jackson.

Rbb Kulturradio says: "Jan Vogler sings with his instrument". For "Pop Songs" he takes them by their word and recorded the most beautiful and popular vocal pieces from Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Bizet, Mozart to The Beatles, Gary Moore or and Micheal Jackson, spanning a period of almost 500 years. For this special project he teams up with the BBC Philharmonic and conductor Omer Meier Wellber. The pieces were specifically arranged for cello and orchestra and make them come alive in an unheard new splendor. The BBC Philharmonic accentuates Jan Vogler beautifully while conductor Omer Meier Wellber features on the accordion on a beautifully arranged version of Monteverdi's "Pur ti miro". Vogler chose the most delightful pieces from operas such as Dido and Aeneas, Carmen or the Magic Flute. He also does not shy away from 20th centuy favorites such as "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess, "It was a very good year" ironically performed by Frank Sinatra or Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean".
