Customer Reviews:

At least Jeff Buckley was singing in tune.......2007-06-23

I enjoy classical, jazz and pop, etc... music pretty much equally. Quality is what counts, and is essentially what's missing in this album. "Grace" is just out of tune and has lost of its grace at the same time. Clearly someone is in need of extra song writer royalty money... Enough said, this is best avoided...

the effort was worth it.......2005-04-11

Interesting CD. It should have included Mojo Pin, and Jewel Box, but what do I know about what rock songs lend themselves to string quartet arrangments? Someone as eclectic as Jeff is bound to have some. The stand outs: Morning Theft, Nightmares by the Sea, and Lilac Wine. Lilac wine is a bit more fitfully drunken, and a little less sweet than Jeff's. All the other songs are also good and explore every facet of Jeff's songs. Hats off to these intelligent musicians. A Tim Buckley song, Song to the Siren, is included. Suggestions for the String Quartet Tribute to Tim: Buzzin' Fly, Blue Melody, Ashbury Park, Morning Glory, Sally Go Round the Roses, Strang Feelin', Sweet Surrender, Pleasant St, Sefronia, I Woke Up, and Dream Letter.

Quartets at their best.......2004-06-22

The ability to transcend music genre is something that isn't easy to do. Jeff Buckley is the most amazing musician of the 90s and quite possibly this generation. This tribute is exactly that, a tribute. This cd only exerts Jeff Buckley as a more astounding musical icon. String quartets are beautiful in themselves. You add Jeff Buckley's riveting harmonies and palpatating riffs and you get something beautiful. Beautiful like Angie.

Wish I could rate this DISGRACE with zero stars........2004-06-18

I agree with mzannetou and Michael Davison. This is an absolute disgrace to Jeff's memory.

I give it a four.......2003-11-22

Of course, we'll always miss Jeff's voice. I found these arrangements of Buckley's music to be an interesting exploration of his songwriting --which is unique and intelligent. Also interesting to point out that "Corpus Christie Carol" is actually based on a composition written by Benjamin Britten, a well known classical composer. The arrangements and performances on this album are solid. Overall I found this to be an intelligent, sensitive homage to an artist who, in such short time on Earth, influenced a great number of people.
