Title: Better things
Product review: Lute music, Elizabethan or Virginal music is so exquisite within its own parameters that any arrangements, improvements or modifications even by the great ones (Sting) may not come up as good as it sounds.the vocal altos and male sopranos that sang these melodies back in the 16th century lose their flavor when a Pop artist gets in there and changes or "improves" such compositions. In my opinion Sting should concentrate on what he does best.Imagine for a second if you please, american country music played by Japanese Koto performers. On the other hand you have Winton Marcellus that is TRAINED in classical music and renders perfect interpretations solo or with chamber or quartet musicians.Each category has its own value in itself. One must be trained in such matters before making new versions. If it aint brocken why fix it??I saw this 2 CD album at a local store priced at 25.00 I would not pay 12.00 for it.sorry.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
