Synopsis

Album Description

The String Quartet Tribute to the Beatles mixes down the legend to the pure, brash, melodic beauty of the music. These pop-masterpiece performances by four different string quartets span the Beatles? career with creations as perfect as Bach, as passionate as Beethoven and as rocking as the Liverpool basement club they burst out of forty years ago to launch John, Paul, George and Ringo-mania. The Beatles are rock and roll Relativity ? the world ages, their music stays forever young.

CD Reviews

I enjoy it for what it is...

Barely There | U.S.A. | 08/17/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Some people just don't get it with these Vitamin String tributes - you don't listen to them to hear your favorite artist per se, you listen to hear a string quartet play something other than Mozart or Bach or whoever. And when the tunes are recognizable, all the better. When traditional classical music is too boring/serious and you're not in the mood for loud, mind-blowing Rock n Roll...this is an enjoyable option. They are not uninspired, they are dutiful classical musicians following the music...as most classical recordings are by musicians who are performing AS the music instructs. Yes, mechanical, technical skill...They shouldn't be trying to embellish or over-do the original...that's why you have the original album already, damnit.

I think this one for the Beatles is especially nice, since Beatles music lends itself well to this type of interpretation.

There are some truly bad Vitamin tributes but that's because the originals were really lacking to begin with. I would say those are the artists who use the most distortion and studio manipulation to create a false sense of "fullness" in their music.

...These are also great for wedding ceremonies because you can have your favorite artist (or at least second favorite, even hard and heavy bands) being played in a way that won't be "offensive" and is much more timeless in its sound so you can have fewer regrets about your wedding video in 20 years, right?

Beatles, You can't go Wrong

"First I love the Beatles, but secondly this string quartet rendition of their music is a tribute to their music. I love when you can take any rock and roll music and have it played in a string quartet fashion. I think it only makes the music better! My opinion only as I'm a classical music fan. It was nice to preview it first before I bought the CD. Thanks AMazon!"

Perfect Wedding Music

Kara | Seattle, wa | 11/17/2008

"This was perfect music for a wedding ceremony. Every bit of my wedding was one of the SQT Beatles songs. It made the music that much more special (cannon in D was just too common for me!) and the guests had that "Hey, I know this song!" look on their face. It was perfect! A great way to incorportate your favorite songs into a subdued setting"
