5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Pure & Beautiful.......2005-10-31

If you buy no other classical music, buy this collection. CD 1 (Relax) is perfect for dinner, quiet entertaining or just soft music while you're working. From "Come Away With Me", to "Whiter Shade of Pale" to "Knights in White Satin"... each piece is it's own movement - and moved you will be... Perfect for a romantic evening. CD2 is more robust, but equally entertaining. "Layla", "Livin On A Prayer", Stairway to Heaven", "Run to You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" - you owe it to yourself to hear these licks performed by the RPO.

5 out of 5 stars Symphonic Rock.......2005-07-25

It really isn't rock, but it is a very pleasant presentation of popular music, rendered in creative ways by a full symphony orchestra. It sounds like the orchestra had a great time making these CD's.

3 out of 5 stars pleasant easy listening.......2005-07-19

It's not extremely interesting music, but nice background, relaxing and pleasant with full orchestra. Not a bad buy at all!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent CD.......2005-03-20

I received this as a present and at first I wasn't sure if I would like it because I don't like some of the original songs, but there's something about hearing the orchestra play that makes me like all of them. Just try it out.

Product Description

Heavy Metal or Heavy Mellow? What if Slash, Kirk Hammet, or Richie Sambora learned the piano instead of guitar? It would have sounded something like this... Pianist Scott D. Davis reveals his rock roots with his latest CD "Rockfluence", performing some of his favorite rock songs, guitar solos and all, with nothing but a solo grand piano. Includes songs originally recorded by Guns 'N' Roses, The Eagles, Evanescence, Metallica, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Linkin Park, Bon Jovi, Journey, Europe, Billy Idol, and one Scott D. Davis original.

5 out of 5 stars A Perfect Blend of Piano Solo and Rock-N-Roll.......2006-06-30

Scott's music is soothing as well as entertaining, emotional as well as inspiring, gentle as well as invigorating. You have to listen to it to catch the blend and beauty of his work.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous!.......2006-02-20

I just purchased this CD today, and song after song I just smile and think "this is so beautiful", and it's mostly original hard rock songs, it's like an oxymoron but it is wonderful. My 7 year old daughter doesn't know the songs originally, and she kept saying how the songs were bringing tears to her eyes. I got this CD after hearing him at the Galleria Mall in Roseville, Ca. because it was so awe inspiring as he played. I wanted to share it with my family, especially my 5 year old who can play music on the piano from ear, which aparently is how Scott started playing himself, and I wanted his music to be an influence to her. He is a true inspiration. Thank you, Scott, for sharing your talent with us.

5 out of 5 stars from Solo Piano Publications.......2006-02-07

Pianist/composer Scott D. Davis has been referred to as "the rocker of new age/contemporary classical music" for a couple of years now. When fellow pianist/composer David Nevue introduced Davis as such at a Whisperings Solo Piano Radio concert something resonated within him. He had been urged for years to record an album of recognizable cover music, but he resisted, preferring to record his own original material. Somehow, Nevue's introduction freed Davis to return to the music that helped shape his energetic performing style and to create solo piano arrangements of some of his favorites. It's a wide-ranging collection spanning thirty-two years of rock and metal music from 1971's "Stairway to Heaven" (Led Zeppelin) to 2003's "My Immortal" (Evanescence). Davis stays true to the spirit of the originals, and yet makes them his own. Actually, there is one piece on the album that is newer than 2003 - Davis' own "Scherzo." Most of the twelve tracks are intense and rather dark - no bubble-gum teeny-bopper stuff here - so it's obviously geared for a more mature audience. Even though I can remember just some of the words to the oldies that I grew up with and wasn't familiar with the more recent hits, I thoroughly enjoy this album. There should be at least one song here that just about anyone can say, "Oooh! I love that song!"

"Rockfluence" opens with "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, a song full of rock-style tenderness and love. "Hotel California" is given a full almost-eight minute treatment that is very true to the original. "My Immortal" by Evanescence is a quieter slow-dance ballad that Davis fills with passion. "Nothing Else Matters" from Metallica is dark and very intense - a beautiful arrangement! I couldn't quite imagine "Stairway to Heaven" as a piano solo, but it works well! I really like the mystery and drive of "Wanted Dead or Alive" from Bon Jovi. "Open Arms" from Journey is one of my favorite songs from the early `80's, and Davis keeps it warm and loving - also a great arrangement! Another favorite is Europe's "The Final Countdown," a powerful, emotionally charged song with a gorgeous melody. Billy Idol's "White Wedding" really rocks, leading up to the closing track, Davis' own "Scherzo," a musical term that means "joke." I first heard this impressive piece in a live setting, and it really makes people sit up and take notice! Davis' fingers fly all over the piano with the various themes of the piece, which range from slow and almost sedate to a wild and crazy romp that makes me think of chase scenes in old movies. "Scherzo" clearly demonstrates Scott Davis' playing chops as well as his musical sense of humor. Fun!

"Rockfluence" is truly a musical good time, showing what these rock classics sound like stripped down to one instrument and no vocals. Good stuff!

5 out of 5 stars Soothing sounds of Led Zeppelin..........2005-03-01

Before I write my review, I thought you would like to know that I have not had a chance to listen to "Kashmir: The Symphonic Led Zeppelin". Keep that in mind if you are trying to decide between the two.

I think I would consider myself an average Led Zeppelin fan. I appreciate their music, and I listen to them every so often. I'm not one of the hardcore Zeppelin fans, so you might not appreciate this tribute as much as I do. I would have to say that this tribute is very well done, and a lot of time and effort was put into making it. The strings are pretty much in sync with the original songs, and just a few seconds into the song, you'll be able to tell what it is. I'm not going to go through a list of songs and tell you what I think of them, but I will say that I think the best one is "Ten Years Gone." This album - or albums, I should say - are great if you're looking for a soothing and relaxing version of some of the great Led Zeppelin songs. Though, I must say that you will only appreciate the tribute if you know the songs themselves, because if you don't then the song just might get repetetive. I'm a fan of the whole String Quartet Tribute thing, and I'd have to say that this is one of the best ones I've heard so far.

2 out of 5 stars Not my cup of tea.......2003-11-18

For some reason this CD just sounded really corney to me. I was really dissapointed. Your opinion may differ but I would recommend that if you are looking for a classical Zeppelin CD you get Kashmir instead. It is cheaper and shines a new light on some awsome songs rather than butchering them.

4 out of 5 stars Finally, Led Zeppelin Done Well in Strings........2003-02-20

A few of the selections are questionable for arrangment for a string section. I mean, Whole Lotta Love? Dazed and Confused? Give me a break. They could have replaced those poor choices with a number of other possibilities.

Nevertheless, it is the first attempt of it's kind, and the songs that are suitable are gorgeously performed.

Led Zeppelin's gifts for creating melodies and knowledge of music theory become more obvious in these classical performances.

It's a double CD so it has lots of songs!

    This is a really unique CD. It's got all the great 80's Metal bands set loose to belt out their favorite tunes. A great way to see another side of these guys and to get a feel for what influenced them when they were young and aspiring Headbangers. Some of their picks surprised me. I HAD to buy this so I could have every recording by OZZY. (I even have his funky "Shake Your Head" with Was (not Was) and his duet with Miss Piggy on "Kermit Unpigged".) His choice of "Purple Haze" on this CD was interesting. He nailed it as only Ozzy could. By the way, the correct title is, "Stairway to Heaven/Highway to Hell". Every Headbanger should have it!

    5 out of 5 stars Innovative, perfectly performed - watch out Led Zeppelin!.......1999-07-27

    If you are a rock and roll fan, this collection of classic rock and roll, arranged for string quartet by Juilliard-trained musicians, will make a classical music lover out of you. If you are a classical music fan, the arrangements and musicality will make you appreciate the complexities of contemporary and classic rock. Every song contains nuances and influences of the greatest composers (Vivaldi in "Scarborough Fair", Bartok in "Satisfaction", George Harrison in "Friends", Copeland in "Blackbird"). The arrangements, especially in "Sympathy" and "Stairway", are faithful to the originals. The "Who" material ("Who Are You"/See Me, Feel Me - Pinball Wizard") is energetic and makes you remember how great "Tommy" was. All in all, the CD is great to listen to if you are looking for a change of pace, and it's even better when you take time to really listen to the music and the arrangements. Highly Recommended for any connoisseur of music.

      4 out of 5 stars Good Covers Of Druggie Tunes.......2007-03-17

      Way back in 1989, the Make A Difference Foundation convinced some (at the time) prominent hair metal and hard rock bands to cover some of their favorite rock songs from bands who had members die due to drug use. Money raised from the project would then be used by the foundation to fight drug addiction. It was a great idea at the time but it's funny that many of the bands on this album were actively using drugs at the time.

      None of the covers are that bad. The best songs, in my opinion, include Gorky Park's "My Generation," the Scorpion's "I Can't Explain," and Ozzy's "Purple Haze." Cinderella's version of Janis Joplin's "Move Over" is also excellent. Other bands on the album include Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and Skid Row. There's also a drummer's delight in "Drum Madness" and highlights from a Moscow music festival.

      Overall, it's not a shabby album. The live performances are pretty forgettable, but the album's other tunes are worthy of multiple listenings. If you really love hair metal and hard rock like I do, you'll be just fine purchasing this album.

      3 out of 5 stars A once hard to find title now easily available!.......2006-05-10

      Yep, back in the day - well, pretty much straight after it's release - this was darn hard to get hold of. But now the wonders of the internet blah blah blah allow you to get your your hands on your own copy of this little gem.

      But don't get too excited over it just yet. Since nobody else has reviewed the plain jane, non import version of this release, I'll give you a track by track synopsis.

      Gorky Park - a bunch of Russians from memory cleaned up and passed off as some sort of 80's hair metal band. These boys were probably totally wide eyed at even getting a look in - some might have expected the Russian band Autograph to get the nod. But luckily for Gorky Park they sang in English. Here they do a take of My Generation. During the late 80's cold war whether they got the irony of this choice is unknown to me. They don't do a bad job if it though Who fans may roll in their graves.

      Skid Row - These boys were on a high at the time and give us a rousing rendition of Holidays in the Sun, Sebastian Bach having the right amount of middle finger pull off the trick of taking this track from silly to kicking butt.

      Scorpions - Can't Explain. The Scorps deliver here, in fact this track seems to suit them and by keeping it to a somewhat subdued delivery, they actually produce a better result that if they'd blazed away. It's even made 'best of' collections by the Scorps over the years.

      Ozzy Osbourne - Yep, the Prince of Darkness was actually better known for his music and weird antics back when this was recorded, as opposed to being on a reality TV style show. Of course his vocals are totally different to Jimmy Hendrix but this track works, weirdly enough.

      Motley Crue - A remarkably dumb band. And a fairly lacklustre run through of this cover tune. Any Crue completists out there thinking of buying this album for this track should really think again.

      Bon Jovi - BJ were given some hassle even at the time for being particularly unadventurous. So to hear them do a Thin Lizzy track, well it's kinda different. They actually managed to give it 'the old college try', but it's still a fairly average track.

      Cinderella - Move Over, the track Cinderella contributed to this exercise, is totally forgettable. In my personal opinion the original wasn't worth much, and their version of it is pretty poor. Avoid.

      Drum Madness - By this stage of the disc, if your still listening you'll actually be hearing... well nothing much of worth.

      Jam - the jam session at the end isn't bad as it allows us to see our heroes in full flight doing a weird medley of stuff, namely Hound Dog, Long Tall Sally and Blue Suede Shoes. Not my personal faves perhaps, but it's certainly a fun way of bringing the album to a close.

      Overall fans of this era should probably buy this disc, it's a kinda cool recorded document to have in your collection. But as there are only a few great tracks on it, you won't find it life changing or anything like that. But turn your brain off and drift away to those halcyon days of the late 80's. And remember, this product was all done in a good cause, so that's gotta be worth something too.
