Their first release. Non-industrial. "A synth-pop album". Simply very good synth-pop album.

Anyone who was enchanted by Yo Yo Ma's recent video compilation of Bach's cello suites and who has an ear for guitar will also find something special here. Segovia brings a reverence and timelesness to these works, all of them ineffable masterpieces. While recording techniques and outright virtuosity have continued to develop since these recordings (Williams in the Lute Suites, Bream/Barrueco in the Chaconne, Sollscher/Galbraith and others in the Cello Suites) the sense of discovery and sheer love of beauty shine through as strongly as ever. These recordings will be around for a long time to come, but jump right in and be enchanted by as accurate and unwavering an account of these works as you ever thought possible.
Not to knock the many violinists who have done soulful powerful renditions of the 2nd Violin Partita, but Segovia's transcription of Chaconne is simply phenomonal! This CD is particularly moving for guitarists. - Amazon Reviewers

This is different stuff…but I like it a lot. In fact, I like Steve Martland's music more than Phillip Glass. Phillip Glass was great for a start but once he became famous, all the songs sound the same. At least with Steve Martland the music is always different. The 1st section called "Danceworks" is simple Classical music with a rock beat, very jumpy & danceable, almost comical at times. The highlight is "Patrol", this is what many normally think as Classical music. This piece is the most haunting, loneliest piece of music I ever heard. At times the music seems like Arvo Part with its starkness, specially with the violins, yet Steve Martland holds onto his originality. Let me write it this way; if you want something different & feel very depress, either play "Danceworks" to left your spirits or if you want to remain depressed play "Patrol" to explore the uniqueness & mystery of your soul. - Amazon Reviewer

Chung's recording of two beloved Bruch (pieces) is filled with fervent youthful energy and at the same time fragile delicacy. Chung's ability to express the powerful energy not forgetting the detail always amazes me. Simply, the two Bruch recrdings are such a beauty that no word can describe.
One of the best classical cds!
Kyung Wha Chung does a wonderful job of expressing the small details of Max Bruch… All the energy is expressed, just as Bruch intended it to. A must have for all classical collections.- Amazon Reviewer
