The Juliet Letters

The Juliet Letters (1993) more music like this

by Elvis Costello/The Brodsky Quartet

Looking back on it, it's remarkable that Warner didn't sue Elvis Costello for making deliberately noncommercial, non-representative records, the way Geffen did with Neil Young in the '80s. After all, it's not just that he made a record as anti-pop as Mighty Like a Rose, it's that he followed it with a full-fledged classical album, The Juliet ...

Ahn-Plugged (2000) more music like this

by Ahn Trio

This eclectic collection spotlights the talents of these three Ahn sisters, all virtuosos on their respective instruments. Pieces range from the stuffy highbrow (like Bernstein's "Trio for Violin, Cello, and Piano") to the pop instrumental (specifically, Eric Awazen's "Diamond World"). Augmented on many tracks by percussionists Matthew Gold and ...

In Gabriel's Garden

In Gabriel's Garden (1996) more music like this

by Wynton Marsalis

Once again planting himself in London's St. Giles Church, Wynton Marsalis performs a program of heroic pan-European Baroque music that permits him to blow his horn above the orchestra like the proverbial archangel Gabriel. There are fanfares, small-scale sonatas, dances, and famous tidbits, and ultimately J.S. Bach's wonderful "Brandenburg ...

by Tin Hat

For its fifth album, the former Tin Hat Trio is minus one founding member, accordionist Rob Burger, but takes in three new musicians: harpist Zeena Parkins (who has recorded with the group before), clarinetist Ben Goldberg (who has recorded several jazz and klezmer albums under his own name) and multi-instrumentalist Ara Anderson, who contributes ...

The String Quartet Tribute to Linkin Park

The String Quartet Tribute to Linkin Park (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

While this string quartet tribute to Linkin Park is entirely instrumental, it nevertheless apes LP's main dynamic, which of course is the interplay of vocalist Chester Bennington and MC Mike Shinoda, supported by the shifting dynamics of the instrumentation. The inherent tension of the group's best efforts -- "Runaway," "One Step Closer," "In the ...

The String Quartet Tribute to Nirvana (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

The String Quartet Tribute to Nirvana presents instrumental, string-quartet arrangements of nine of Nirvana's most resonant songs. "Rape Me," "Come as You Are," and "Penny Royal Tea" are all given the treatment, with the arrangements for violin, viola, cello, and bass sticking pretty close to the originals, minus Kurt Cobain's acerbic vocals. The ...

Flute Greatest Hits is an entertaining budget-line collection of familiar classical selections and traditional pop songs arranged in an easy-listening style. None of these performances are definitive, but the disc makes for pleasant background music. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

The String Quartet Tribute to Rush (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

This string quartet tribute to Rush delivers 12 instrumental versions of the Canadian power trio's material, focusing mainly on their breakthrough years of 1975-1981. Given the band's penchant for grandiosity, their material lends itself particularly well to the violin, viola, cello, and bass. Of course, Neil Peart's drum fills aren't replicated, ...

The String Quartet Tribute to Bruce Springsteen: Home Town (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

The inlay card to The String Quartet Tribute to Bruce Springsteen asserts that the "string ensemble's renditions of the Boss' classic songs are a magnetic field that blow you away recklessly." It's not clear what that exactly means, but the 11 Springsteen originals that appear here as instrumentals performed on violin, viola, and cello do lend ...

This string tribute to AC/DC eschews the quartet arrangement favored by Vitamin for these projects, and instead features a fleet of violins, viola, and cellos augmented by bass and drums. All the hits are here -- most notably, "Back in Black," "You Shook Me All Night Long," and "Hells Bells" -- and these favorites are augmented by classic AC/DC ...

The String Quartet Tribute to James Taylor (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

This release features nine instrumental, chamber music renditions of James Taylor classics. Performed on violin and viola, most of the pieces effectively capture Taylor's wide-eyed insouciance, even without his trademark vocal style. "Mexico," "Sweet Baby James," and "Going to California" are standouts, and the romantic jazz arrangement of "Mean ...

The String Quartet Tribute to Coldplay [Vitamin] (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

The String Quartet Tribute to Coldplay applies violin, viola, cello, and bass to instrumental versions of the band's most memorable moments. While standouts include "Shiver" and "In My Place," "Yellow" might be best. While the original song's gorgeous, gradually unfolding melody is present and accounted for, the performers here have added a new, ...

The String Quartet Tribute to Kiss (2004) more music like this

This string tribute to Kiss actually has pretty cool cover art for a budget release, incorporating violins into a graphic reminiscent of the band's famous face paint. That said, the chamber quartet versions of Kiss faves like "Detroit Rock City," "Strutter," "Love Gun," and "Rock & Roll All Night" have little connection to the originals. They're ...
