Paul McCartney is to release a new classical album this autumn. The LP, entitled 'Ecce Cor Meum', is out on 25 Sep and was recorded at Abbey Road. It features appearances from The Boys of Magdalen College Choir Oxford and The Boys of King's College Choir, Cambridge.
The work was commissioned Anthony Smith, former president of Magdalen College, Oxford University. Smith said he hoped the former Beatle would create "a choral piece which could be sung by young people the world over in the same way Handel's Messiah is."
