The hiring of orchestras must have gotten extremely cheap at around this time. Deep Purple had of course done it as far back as the late 1960's, but would revive it again very shortly. Scorpions not only went acoustic, they also took part in an operatic symphony. For goodness sake – even Metallica had a go at it!!
Of course, these were all performed live on stage and recorded for their release.
Yngwie went another way. He wrote his own concerto, and took everyone into the studio and recorded it. It is original, gives you further scope to appreciate the wonderful talent of Yngwie, both in writing and playing. This is of course more a classical release, but when you listen to Yngwie's stuff (especially his early work), isn't that all classical guitar as well?
Rating : An excellent and original release from one of the finest guitarists ever. 4/5.
