Album Description

VIOLENTLY BEAUTIFUL: THE STRING TRIBUTE TO BJORK features classic instrumental renditions of her introspective and atmospheric songs. This collection gives an epic sweep to Bjork's songs that resonates with new intensity when performed by these versatile cellists, violists and violinists. VIOLENTLY BEAUTIFUL strips Bjork's sonic testaments to their bare essence, the symphonic arrangements that are the core of her music, the artists using the rich tones of their stringed instruments to capture the true spirit of Bjork's lush and dreamy vocal stylings. An absolute must for even the most casual of Bjork fans...

5 out of 5 stars WOW.......2006-02-28

From the first time that I heard Bjork's lyrical vocal passages to the first time that I layed ears on her crazy outbursts, I knew she was insane. Bjork has to be one of the most incredibly talented and creative musicians of our time.
This disc can in no way do justice to what Bjork is capable of, but it is a marvelous interpretation of what she has done. The disc features the cello on quite a number of tracks and also employs pizzicato and portimento techniques to capture some of the eerie sounds that Bjork uses on her albums.
This is a remarkable album as a stand alone - and considering how lowsy many of the tribute albums have been lately, it is quite an accomplishment.
