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.

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.

Live Recording

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.

Norah Jones Come Away With Me CDs  (2002)

Classical Graffiti album
CD $10.05  4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
COME AWAY WITH ME won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical). "Don't Know Why" won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Arif Mardin won the 2003 Grammy Award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical). A direct descendant from the pedigree of one of the 20th century's virtuosos, Norah Jones might not be on such a lofty artistic level as her dad Ravi Shankar, but certainly inherited some musical intuition from him. With nary a sitar nor raga within earshot, the young newcomer sounds very much an assimilated, western, 21st century pop-jazz singer. One thing that separates her from the pack is Ms. ...

The informal title says a great deal about the contents of The Mozart Sessions, which could have been called Concerti for Piano and Orchestra, Nos. 23 and 20, since that is, for the most part, what it is. But of course the conductors, vocalist Bobby McFerrin and jazz keyboard player Chick Corea, are not your average classical musicians. Nor is there any doubt about the non-traditional nature of the ...
