Editorial Review:
Jethro Tull Frontman Ian Anderson Approached the Performance of These Tull Classics Not with an Eye to Replicate all the "Rock Group with Orchestra" Discs that Pervaded the Marketplace at the Turn of the Century, but as One Acoustic Musician Playing with a Group of Mostly Other Acoustic Musicians. This was an Exercise of Love to Highlight the Power of Tull Music in a Classical Setting, but in No Way Compromising the Louder Portions of the Compositions. Each Musician was Chosen to Participate Based on their Understanding of the Complex Workings of the Tull Compositions. Thus, These Performances Are Among the Most Heartfelt Ever of the Group's Work. The Classical Musicians Come from the Frankfurt Neue Philharmonic Orchestra, Conducted by John O'hara Along with James Duncan on Drums, David Goodier on Bass and Glockenspiel, O'hara Himself on Keyboards and Accordion and Florian Ophahle on Acoustic and Electric Guitars...and Anderson Himself on Flute and Vocals.

My oldest brother introuced me to Tull when he bought "Benenfit". My personnal favorites are " Stand Up, Heavy Horses, & for a live performance --- "Bursting Out". Seen them only twice. Both times in Seattle. Aqualung,& Under Wraps. As all Tull fans know --- Ian Anderson is a genius. He shows it once again in this CD. S.F. Jeffery
Rating:  - Ian Anderson plays the orchestral Jethro Tull
Let me preface this, I am an avid music listener of rock, jazz, male/female vocals and most things musical. I have been a Jethro Tull/Ian Anderson fan since the start around 1968. Even avid fans have their favorite albums or tracks, but I have never in all my music had the experience of a total musical package, that after a few years of listening pleasure, still excites the senses. For me, this is musical, profesional, mature and the whole package. Try it, you won't be disapointed.
Rating:  - Not the concert I went to!
In late 2006 I attended a terrific Ian Anderson concert in which he traded solos with a marvelously entertaining (and young and pretty) violinist. The concert featured a mixture of multiple genres, including Tull classics. The rock band and symphony blended quite nicely.
I thought this would be the CD version of that concert, but it isn't.
This CD is precisely what I was afraid the concert would be!!!
Bland classical music with some nice Tull tunes that have simply been schmalzified... ... Read More

We saw Ian Anderson in concert and loved the show. I bought this CD for my husband for Christmas and it is very well done. Just like being at the show again. I would highly recommend it to any Jethro Tull fan.
