ARIA was Paul Schwartz' first album: an experiment in melding short snippets of opera with contemporary sounds and beats. The result was a rich and varied collection of musical cross-fertilization, groovy and yet spiritually true to the drama of the original opera arias. The album features singer Rebecca Luker, and a large string orchestra, and was recorded and mixed at Abbey Road Studios in London.

A large string orchestra, and vocals are recorded in the extraordinary acoustics of Abbey Road Studios in London, Resulting in true performances which lend the entire project vitality and presence that is rare for this genre.

"As the founder of CUSCO, it has always been my philosophy that we, as human beings, must understand, respect and rejoice in the natural world. The responsibility for the environment and the creatures of this planet is in our hands. With this in mind, it was a great pleasure for CUSCO to compose the music for "Sielmann 2000." Heinz Sielmann, the world renowned naturalist, created a series of television specials on the plight of wild animals throughout the world with special emphasis on the changes in nature over the last 30 years. CUSCO 2002 features 9 themes from this series. I hope that you enjoy our music, you will remember the animals and places that inspired us...and that our music will inspire you to become involved in preserving our natural world." - Michael Holm
