High-energy workouts such as "Rodrigo," "Carmen Caprice," and "The Journey Of A Fool" offer ample opportunities for displays of virtuosity. But the group shows it's capable of subtlety and nuance, particularly in the romantically wistful "Love In Slow Motion" and the Celtic-tinged "He Moved Through The Fair." Batt has consistently demonstrated a knowledge of the ingredients necessary for crossover success, and on CLASSICAL GRAFFITI he once again applies a winning formula to great effect.

Debut akbum from the classical crossover music band formed by Mike Batt, includes 17 tracks made up of original compositions as well as covers of well-known classical themes .

There's little doubt that The Planets will achieve success in the world of Classical crossover. All the essential elements are in place: top-notch musical credentials, photogenic good looks, sex appeal, and the ability to create an entertaining mix of Classical and contemporary Pop music. Most important, perhaps, is the fact that the group is the brainchild of Mike Batt, the man who orchestrated the careers of Vanessa-Mae and Bond. For its debut album, he provides the eight-member ensemble with 16 tracks made up of original compositions and covers of well-known classical themes, all bearing Batt's signature crowd-pleasing arrangements and production style. Dance beats, Flamenco rhythms, Middle-eastern modalities, and sentimental melodies are intermingled with heavy guitars and prog-rock pyrotechnics to create a vibrant musical mix that showcases the group's technical proficiency.

The Planets: Ruth Miller (flute); Ben Pugsley (electric, Classical & Flamenco guitars); Jonathan Hill (violin); Lac-Hong Phi (cello); Salima Williams (oboe); Beverley Jones (bass, double bass); Michael Kruk (drums, percussion).

5 stars Classical Graffiti is a Great Thrill and a Joy.
This is truly the modern way Classical Music should be presented. A real delight.

4 stars Great Listening
There are many groups who play the standard classics. I get tired of hearing the same old stuff. This group is like a ray of sunshine in a dark forest; a cool drink on a hot summer day; Good to listen to first thing in the morning.

1 star Classical music for cretins
This disc is rubbish. It's all about pandering to the musically uninformed. This is NOT classical music, folks.
