5.0 out of 5 stars 'Norwegian Wood' the BEST Beatles tribute album ever!, July 23, 2001

Danish insturmentalists Trio Rococo's absolutely stunning and beautiful 1995 album "Norwegian Wood" is one of those hidden treasures, a diamond in the rough, waiting to be discovered by YOU. Simply, it is the best Beatles tribute album ever. For any fan of string/woodwinds, insturmental trios, and the Beatles of course, this is absolutely an ESSENTIAL album to have. Stunning arrangements of such Beatles hits as "Eleanor Rigby", "Here Comes The Sun" (my favorite), "Daytripper", "I am the Walrus", and "Blackbird" are recreated with the same inginuity and creativity in which they were originally written and created, and in such a incredible fashion that it's absolutely... beyond words. I strongly recommend getting this album, at any cost or expense. It's WORTH IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong Music In Its Own Right, February 25, 2000

This album is most immediately recommended to those who already know the songs. Putting on "Because" and filling in the words in your own mind while the instruments play the classic song in a whole new way permits you whole new insights into how it is that, because the world is round, it turns me on -- insights the Beatles themselves may not have had when they first recorded the tune. On the other hand, this is strong classical music with a character all its own, and can be enjoyed entirely as that as well -- my girlfriend Sarah and I like to put it on for our romantic moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well crafted and beautifully rendered, February 19, 2000

This is not some sappy boiled down elevator music. But rather, these are interestingly arranged and artfully performed renditions of some of the Beatles' most enduring tunes. The Trio Rococo plays them like the classics that they are.
