Bond, the scourge of classical music purists, follows up REMIXED with CLASSIFIED, the group's fourth release. Derided by traditionalists for its visual and musical flashiness, the sultry string quartet snubbed its nose at the establishment and ... Full Descriptionwon over legions of fans with the notion that Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms could be party music. Besides stunning looks and eye-catching attire, the foursome is known for its dynamic re-workings of well-known classical themes--high-octane blends of familiar melodies, world beat, electronica, and dance rhythms.
The group sets the tone right away with the aptly titled "Explosive," a typically high-energy romp penned by Tonci Huljic, a major contributor to Bond's early success. Bond makeovers are applied to Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake," Pachelbel's "Canon," Barber's "Adagio for Strings," Bizet's "Habanera," and a raucous version of Khatchaturian's "Sabre Dance." The album also finds the quartet expanding its musical arsenal with some exuberant vocals on the disco-era hit "Fly Robin Fly," as well as "Samba," a Latin-flavored workout. Anyone looking for an academic approach to classical repertoire has come to the wrong place; CLASSIFIED is for the many who've been captivated by Bond's fun-loving approach to the classics.

BORN, the debut album by the sultry string quartet Bond, is many things but certainly not a classical record in the traditional sense. And that's the point. The group expertly mines the crossover territory mapped out by artists such as Vanessa-Mae and Adiemus, and despite the hype and marketing, Bond shouldn't be dismissed as merely a pretty girl group cloaked in classical music pretension. Along with their photogenic looks, the group boasts impressive classical and ...

Are they the Spice Girls of the classical world or the Tokyo String Quartet of girl-pop? Perhaps a little bit of both. There's no denying that this photogenic female string quartet is oriented for maximum marketability. From their scantily clad, Playboyesque booklet photos to their crafty mixture of classical themes and dance pop, Bond is clearly aiming for a mass audience, perhaps neither that of Britney Spears nor the Kronos Quartet, but some demographic that exists in the vast space between them. Their repertoire is certainly all over the map. ...

The words "classical music" and "remix" are not usually found together in the same sentence. But then, Bond isn't your typical classical ensemble. This quartet of comely young women parlayed their model-worthy looks and conservatory training into a winning combination of high-octane versions of "classical" themes and MTV-style visuals that shook up ...

"Quartetto Gelato's performances have a warm, endearing vitality..." New York Times"Light programming, like comedy, is serious business. Quartetto Gelato has the stuff. Dry humor and occasional clowning are part of the quartet's arsenal, yet first it meets the requisite of skilled music-making. Its pleasure-giving is consistent."
