Interesting.......2003-04-24
To hear a dynamic group like Led Zeppelin put to the music of a string quartet may sound like Muzak-ing Led Zeppelin, but the album doesn't come off that way. The string players are both respectful and playful, having fun with the bizarre mixture of Led Zeppelin music and the instrumentation of a string quartet without losing the feel of the originals, presenting an enjoyable performance of the songs, rather than a destroyed one that Muzak-ing would do.
My favorite two songs on here are "The Ocean" and "Whole Lotta Love"--not necessarily my favorite Led Zeppelin songs in general, but I like the effect here. With this string quartet adaptation of "The Ocean," an almost Middle Eastern sound is revealed in the melody that I'd never noticed before. This is the kind of thing that makes such a project worthwhile--bringing things out of the songs previously unnoticed. "Whole Lotta Love" works much better than I thought it would--the cello line is great! This song is augmented by a distant, fuzzed-up sampling of the song's original vocals, the only song on this album to do that. But it doesn't lose the feel of this "classical" album.
"Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" also works especially well, although I was never a fan of the song to begin with.
