5.0 out of 5 stars whatever
i just came across these string tributes and bought this one alonge with a david bowie and a radiohead one, and i think they're amazing. where the money goes to is completely irrelevant. kinda like saying spending money on anything that isnt elliott smith is selfish. the whole cd is great if your really into elliott smith. the way they put together waltz 2 sounds so great.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrors!
Once again the string quartet butchers a brilliant artist with it's simplified arrangements and awful musicianship. If you want to hear versions Elliott's works do him justice check out Brad mehldau (bottle up and explode), Bill frisell (satellite), ir chris O'reilly's soon to be released tribute album.

5.0 out of 5 stars lovely, March 18, 2006

As a fan of Elliott Smith and of classical string instruments, this is truely the best of both worlds. I completely disagree that this is butchery of a talented man's music. And I doubt very much that he would object to this cd. It gives it a whole new feel and really brings it to a new level of beauty. In my opinion, lovely is the greatest compliment that I can give.

1.0 out of 5 stars No Thanks, August 23, 2005
This review is from: String Quart Tribute to Elliot Smith (Audio CD)
Normalmente los tributos tienden a hacer una diferencia o una mejora con los temas originales, los ejemplos sobran. Pero realmente sto pareciera ser un no-tributo, es como si una banda escolar fuera obligada a tocar temas que no les gustan, es realmente horrendo escuchar temas con tematicas y colores musicales hermosos como Waltz#2 destruídos por un supuesto "homenaje". No es la falta de las palabras lo que hace a este disco una verguenza, sino que es que no suena ni estimula nada... totalmente lo contrario de las versiones originales donde la sóla guitarra creaba una atmosfera increible.

Realmente no se de donde salió esta ocurrencia, y lo digo así por que no se me ocurre palabra que mejor describa esto que "ocurrencia".

Quedemosnos con el verdadero Elliott, tambien con algunos de sus temas ejecutados por Beck, pero esto... no gracias.
