Comment:

I have seen many CDs of symphony orchestras perfroming Rock songs, but I have never seen one CD compilation where Rock groups perform Classical Music and Musicals. I even passed the idea to Rhino Records with no results. I decided to burn my own CD. It has Classical and Musicals performed by Rock Groups.

What? No "Fifth of Beethoven" by what's his name? Murphy or something.

Great concept. Decades ago a group called the Toys put words to a Bach cantata and renamed it "Lover's Concerto"

I like it! A very cool concept. I think Jeff Beck recorded a version of Ravel's Bolero too.

This mix totally kicks ass. Rhino, like all the other labels, needs to get it's head out of it's own *expletive deleted*.
