5.0 out of 5 stars great album to pay tribute to a great band, November 27, 2003

This review is from: String Quart Tribute to Nirvana (Audio CD)

when i bought this cd i was so happy. its great. when i listen to it, even though i cant here kurts words i still feel the raw power of nirvana somehow. i think the whole thing was just awsome. even the original that they put on there was cool. kurt cobain was not nirvana. krist, dave, and kurt were nirvana. you can here the music's beauty in songs like "something in the way" and you can still feel the raw edge in songs like "rape me", and "smells like teen spirit". if you are a hardcore nirvana fan who also injoys classical music you should most definately get this cd.i hightly reccommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Underwhelming!, April 20, 2004

This review is from: String Quart Tribute to Nirvana (Audio CD)

I bought this CD on a whim, and I was not that impressed with it. I think it's slightly better than an elevator-muzak version of Nirvana's songs. I think Nirvana's music could be done well in a classical style, I just don't think this CD does that. A good example of this is Christopher O'Reilly's album, "True Love Waits", which takes Radiohead songs and turns them into classical songs. While it could be argued that Radiohead's music lends itself better to classical music, I think that album picks up more on the complex structure of Radiohead's music...this is a quality Nirvana's music also has, but this music doesn't even come close to capturing that.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Around Great, April 28, 2003

This review is from: String Quart Tribute to Nirvana (Audio CD)

This is a great CD for Nirvana fans, or just for those who like orchestra. Cobain, Noveselic, and Grohl's songs translate beautifully and extremely well. Definately worth spending some money on. A very good buy.
