 Beethoven meets the 21st century
I wasn't sure about this cd at first,but the more I listened the more I got into it.I have always loved classical music,espicially Beethoven.I mean what kind of musicians from today will be remembered 200 years from now?Not many.I'm not saying that Yngwie is in the same catagory os the great composers of the past.I'm saying he appriciates the importants of classical music in todays heavy metal.I am glad that He's exposing classical music to someone who's maybe never listened to it.He did a great job composing these songs with a perfect balance of guitar and orchestra.Bravo,I hopes he does another cd like this one.

 Surprise, surprise
You may already note that this is quite a surprise. I reluctantly purchased it because I'm a guitar nut. I used to dig Malmsteen's early works, but then he seemed to become to much of a egomaniac writing the same crap over and over... music with no creativity, no originality with the same shred licks. All the while the production quality suffering more and more as his controlling manner increased. And, so I stopped buying his music. It was a sad story. Perhaps the greatest technical rock guitarist of all time unable to create decent music. It has been such a waste... And then Yngwie comes through with this. I bought it on a whim... call it a last chance or simply curiousity. Surprise, surprise. Here's the talent after all. The song writing is impressive and classically charged. It blends beautifully with his playing style. Of course, it makes you wonder, if he's able to write and create music at this level why was he wasting it on his regurgitated metal sound for all of these years. The sound quality isn't the greatest. Sometimes his sound is a bit too shrill. But the music is good and his playing is masterful. His best since Alcatrazz... Heck, probably his best ever. My advise to Yngwie... do it again and again. And if you must create more metal, then surround yourself with the finest musicians and let them contribute to the song structures, the writing, the improvisation. It can only get better.
