String Quartet Tribute to Nirvana Reviews:
Nirvana like you never heard 
2009-09-07 - I bought this cd after listening to samples on amazon. I had never heard anything like it before. I also sampled other tribute albums to Nirvana like the piano version, the cocktail version, and the Nevermind string quartet tribute. I liked this one the best because of the variety of songs. It is a more relaxing way to enjoy the songs I already know, that make my heart beat fast with enjoyment. My 4 month old seems to enjoy the album too. I also chose this to share with her as an alternative to the "lullaby" version cd of Nirvana that is also available.
It is alright, I expected better 
2009-04-21 - I usually don't write reviews but I have to say that I was a little disappointed with this album. I love Nirvana so that is a major saving grace for this album, however I feel that a lot more could have been done with the compositions to make sure their transition to classical strings sounded pleasing. I just get the feeling that some of the tracks are low recording quality (On a Plain), not well played, or just off in some way. Some of the tracks come off very nicely (Come As You Are), others just sound a little off, as if one of the instruments if off key.
STRINGS DIPPED IN PERFUME
2006-06-29 - I love this album. They should make a movie based on the book PERFUME and call it SCENTLESS APPRENTICE and then they should use the music from the CD as the basis for the movie soundtrack. I could imagine writers of fantansy or medieval stories might find this music inspiring to listen to while they write.
The transition is painless
2006-02-12 - I'd recommend this for any rock fan, even those who haven't heard Nirvana. (You probably have and just didn't know who it was.) Nirvana's artistic genius truly shows through this string quartet. Although I'm not ecstatic about Tom Tally's cover of "Something in the Way" it's not something I don't enjoy listening to. Todd Mark Rubenstein, however, does a fantastic job interpreting Nirvana. Or any band I've heard him do so far.
Although at first you may be put off by the idea of hearing your favorite rock in string quartet form, this CD should dispell any doubts. When done well, a string quartet tribute is at least as - if not more - valuable than the original.
Something different from your usual Nirvana
2005-03-28 - I heard this CD played in my friends car, and even though it was just some violins, I enjoyed it alot. I asked who it was, and they said "Nirvana". I was surprised, and looked around online to see that it was something called a String-Tribute. This is an awesome CD, with songs like Rape Me, Come As You Are, and Smells Like Teen Spirit remade with that orchastral feel to it. It's different, but in a good way. If you're not into this kind of thing, well, neither was I.
