CD Reviews
Enhancing Vivaldi's Four Seasons!
Jean A. Miller | Superior, CO USA | 04/18/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Walker and the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra enhance and intrigue with the new release of Electric Vivaldi. Walker shines with his skill on the electric violin and although there is a definite flair for the unique, the integrity and beauty of Vivaldi's masterpiece melds beautifully and a work of art has been created.
It was a pleasure to listen to and I would highly recommend it, whether for the listener that is perhaps more "trendy" or the classical aficionado.
A round of applause for Walker in the work of art that will become a stable on the shelves."
