5.0 out of 5 stars Classic[al] Stones, July 10, 2007

This review is from: Symphonic Music of the Rolling Stones (Audio CD)

As both a huge Rolling Stones fan and a lover of classical music, I have to say this is one of the most enjoyable and interesting discs I own. Here are 11 of the Stones' best songs, as you have never heard them before. This cd is certainly a tribute to the melodic and lyrical genius of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and crew, but the impeccable London Symphony Orchestra and guest vocalists transform these catchy rock tunes into incredibly haunting and powerful musical sagas. The versions of "Ruby Tuesday" and "As Tears Go By" are really amazing and even tragic. "Sympathy for the Devil" has an operatic feel to it. The child-like innocence of "Dandelion" is really quite entertaining. Considering the Stones were really a blues band at heart, one wouldn't think initially that their repertoire would translate well into a symphonic format. But it does. There is only one way to enjoy this rare musical treat-buy this cd now!

3.0 out of 5 stars Forget the original Stones stuff--just enjoy for itself, July 22, 1999

This review is from: Symphonic Music of the Rolling Stones (Audio CD)

Interesting form of Stones music--definitely not for the Stones purist, but not bad if just taken as music to enjoy by itself.

I've had this CD for what seems like a lifetime now, and I still can't put it away. By far the most timeless CD I own.
