Concerto Suite For Electric Guitar And Orchestra
The Story
With his "Concerto Suite For Electric Guitar And Orchestra", Yngwie J. Malmsteen fulfills a lifelong dream by melding electric guitar and Baroque orchestra (the Czech Philharmonic) - with impressive results. All pieces were composed specifically for this album, scored by David Rosenthal for the orchestra. The concerto was conducted by Yoel Levi of the Atlanta Symphony. Featuring outstanding musicianship and Yngwie's trademark shred, "Concerto Suite For Electric Guitar And Orchestra" represents the pinnacle of Malmsteen's illustrious career - a great addition to all instrumental guitar collections.
