CD Reviews

Needs a better string quartet

03/15/2000

(1 out of 5 stars)

"As a musician and musicology student, I am very familar with both the "classical" world of music, and the popular world of music, and I have to say that perhaps string quartet versions of R.E.M. might be interesting, but you need a creative and enterprising quartet (such as Kronos Quartet, etc.) to do this. This CD is greatly disappointing because the transcriptions are simplistic and lacking imagination. String quartet recordings can be very exciting, but not here!"

4-string quartet just doesn't cut it

Lee Marks | 01/02/2000

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This was a good idea but a 4-string quartet just doesn't sound right doing R.E.M. Note, it's not an orchestra and it sounds choppy.Just listen to the previews first, I didn't."

C'est Magnifique!

Rachel Phelps | America | 12/27/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This recording may only be very exciting to the rabid REM fan or collector, but if that's what you are then this is a must have. It includes all of the REM staples as might be expected (Losing My Religion, Everybody Hurts, and Shiny Happy People), but also has surprising choices such as Superman, Catapult, and Crush With Eyeliner. The only point which I feel wasn't absolutely astounding is the string rendition of ...End Of The World..., this song just doesn't come off quite right without Stipe's lyrics. But this record is definetely recommended by this die-hard fan."
