5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite CDs, February 9, 2008

By	Chapman Tucker "RobinBird" - See all my reviews

I may have to purchase a second copy of this CD as I will probably wear a hole through my copy of this one Any violinist who loves both classical and rock will fall passionately in love with this CD. Additionally this is one of my favorite versions of Paganini's 24 because of Rachel's ethereal sound. In the Passacaglia duo for violin and cello one would swear the violin and cello are having a very steamy affair. The Led Zepplin mix is mind blowing. Her first cut is a beautifulclassic rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner done Rachel style, which should remind us all how fortunate we are to have such a virtuso from the United States. Rachel is not only a marvelous violinist but a wonderful muscian as well, as she seems to come up with marvelous ideas for her CDs and has such great love and respect for music, composers and a humble desire to share.

5.0 out of 5 stars wow, October 20, 1999

By A Customer

This CD is fantastic! Not only does this CD make you re-think your preconceptions about the metal genre, it makes you realize how EXCEPTIONAL some of modern music is. It also showcases some interesting comparitive pieces - it takes some guts to put Paganini and Metallica on the same CD - and it works beautifully.

4.0 out of 5 stars perfect marriage, April 15, 2002

By A Customer

Is this the one with Fade To Black and Smells Like Teen Spirit/All Apologies on it? If so, get this CD. It's great. Classical versions of songs by Black Sabbath, Metallica, Soundgarden, Nirvana.
