Title: Not classical and worse than muzak
Product review: For a good reference on how a song should be covered in a classical style, listen to Mancini's version of "With or Without You." Wonderful buildup, delicate arrangement, good use of a rhythm section to keep the song on tempo. This CD is nothing of the sort. A shame. It's flat in sound, classical songs shouldn't be "normalized" at a constant volume!It's hard to figure out what the intent of this CD was. Electric guitar with distortion? Instead of attempting to reinterpret the songs with the feeling of an orchestra and the wonderful sound of a full orchestra, it sounds more like a high school rock group renting a 10 piece orchestra.Maybe of more concern than the lameness of this CD is the fact that some U2 fans seem to like it. Apparently anything of U2 must be good? Shows that if Bono made an album of himself using a urinal, a U2 fan would somehow find something artistic about it.
