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.

>$20.00 plus $5.00 shipping
