Title: Don't mess with masterpieces!
Review: I listened to this CD because somebody was raving about it, but being a classical music buff I hated it. To me, it's like trying to re-write Shakespeare in modern lingo. It's like taking a perfect filet mignon an pouring ketchupall over it. The first track is the "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's 9th symphony, music so perfect, glorious and divine in its original form, that changing in any way renders it vulgar and tainted. In every piece De Los Rios inserts annoyingly clanging cymbals, drumming beats that sound like a cheap synthesizer. My advice to all those who think this is great, go get the original, you're cheating yourself out of something truly awesome. Listen to Beethoven's 9th played by the Berlin Philarmonic conducted by Herbert von Karajan, and at the end of the final movement you'll be moved to tears for the emotion such divine music will bring. Do the same with all the other pieces, infinitely better than this bastardized version.
