 The Doors Concerto
Submitted on: 2008-12-12 |

| I have purchased many CDs and books through Amazon.com; most of them used as was this CD. I have never been disappointed with the quality of the item or the purchase. This CD of "The Doors Concerto" arrived packaged as if new, and played perfectly. It arrived in a short amount of time, and the price was right. In this day of buying "green", this is one small way I can contribute. Amazon provides a terrific service with the purchase of used CDs and books. |

I like all genra's of music, and listen to a variety of everything every day. From Bach to Boyz2Men, to Country, to Gangsta Thug :).
The doors are my favorite band. These orchestral remakes are more than just that. They are individual and unique interpretations of these Classic songs.
If you're a classical fan, and a Doors fan, you'll be glad you bought this CD. |

"Concerto" says everything

| This is a very well executed adaptation of Doors music into classic. I also own the fantastic George Winston's "Night Divides the Day", and I could say both CDs, even though different in it's category, perform a fantastic tribute to The Doors. But this is not a CD for "The Doors" fans, as it is more directed to Classical lovers. You will find very interesting versions of: Spanish Caravan & The Crystal Ship |

The Vietnam Concerto
Submitted on: 2006-11-05 |

| I really love this album. To me, it evokes all the tragedy and sadness of the Vietnam war. Every time I listen to it, I feel very moved. Kennedy is an inspired violinist, and his instrument fairly weeps at times. So, if you are a baby-boomer like me, you may really respond to music that captures the times in which the Doors wrote and sang. |

 Interesting music - haunting and beautiful

As a music guy, I can listen to classical and then go to rap and appreciate both.
As I really like the Doors, I saw this CD and recognizing what Jaz Coleman did with Led Zeppelin, I bought this CD.
It is not much like the LeZeppelin effort. However, both are equally beautiful. The LZ disc sounded like a movie soundtrack. Here the music sounds like a sad concerto.
Truly, I was struck by the sadness in the music. It is powerful though, and the arrangements strike the right chord (terrible pun - sorry) between being exactly similar to the Doors music, and a fresh interpretation.
Should you buy this disc? Well, if you enjoy classical music and you are not a snob - then yes. This disc may get you to enjoy some contemporary music in a vital interpretation. If you are a Doors fan, I would think you would enjoy hearing your favorite songs being played in a new way.
Overall, I believe this is an interesting disc to own. Well worth it. It is and does stand within my classical collection. It ain't Horowitz, but it sure is sweet!! |
