5.0 out of 5 stars It's different., March 7, 2003

By 

"cbcentraltexas" (Near Austin, Texas. United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Classic Rock Violin (Audio CD)

I'm not into Classical music, but I'll listen to it from time to time. However, this album adds fast tempo to the music. It makes it fun to listen to. The music is light hearted, but the fast beats in the song really draws attention. Listen to the samples. You'll probably either like it or you won't. If you listen to two song samples and you like those samples, then you will like the rest of the album. In one way, all the songs are kind of the same.

CONS:
Wish they could have added more songs. :-)

1.0 out of 5 stars Classics for Trailer Trash!, February 7, 2006

By 

Ursula (Knightsen, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Classic Rock Violin (Audio CD)

Listening to the clips makes me want to puke! This musical "group" have ruined some fine pieces of music. The non-popped-up originals stand perfectly well on their own. If you want to introduce yourself or your kids to classical music, listen to the real thing. The music on this CD is for trailer trash who want to delude themselves into thinking they're classy.
