British Rock Symphony
Repost from the daltrey list:
>I've been listening to the BRS cd this week, and I definitely recommend
>this to anyone who's openminded about music. Um, it's a little hard to get
>past the first two tracks--those first two are worth the price of the whole
>thing, plus some.
>Track number one is Roger Daltrey and Ann Wilson singing "Kashmir." Puff
>Daddy sort of got the sound of Robert Plant's voice out of our heads and
>now that it's open to different interpretations, this one's terrific. The
>orchestra (and band) do a powerful, dramatic interpretation that's perfect
>for Roger's voice. Track number two is an outstanding duet for viola and
>electric guitar, featuring Nigel Kennedy on viola and Eric Clapton on the
>electric guitar. There are several other strong performances on this cd,
>including Ann Wilson, Thelma Houston and Paul Rogers. The only one I
>thought really poor was Eric Burdon on "Another Brick in the Wall."
>Simon Townshend and Zak Starkey also perform on both the cd and the VHS
>video. The cd is easy to come by, available from CDNow and likely other
>sources, as well. The video is of the BRS concert at Ragley Hall and it's
>currently showing on PBS in the New York area. People who have seen it say
>it's quite good. Apparently they're using the show for their fund drive
>and offering the video and cd with membership for $120. It may be possible
>to order the video alone from the following address, but there's been no
>official announcement of this yet:
>David Fishof Presents, Inc.
