Once again, Fleck is pushing the banjo past it's limits. The music on this album is absolutely genius; with the elaborate solo's, the banjo really shines. This album is worth your money, and probably a lot more than that.

Just because music from the era is called "classical" does not necessarily mean that it must remain within the bounds of the original sheet music. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (Track 16) is incredible when played on the keyboard like it was written, but is worse by no means when played on banjo and cello. If you enjoy these popular pieces in their original form and are not too much a snob to hate change, then you will not regret buying this album. You might even enjoy enjoy watching the funny looks on your friends' faces while they try to figure out what instruments they are listening to - and the look of surprise when they find out!

Truly a great album. Bela Fleck can really work those fingers! The iTunes review tells it all. With appearances from big classical names like Edgar Meyer, John Williams, and Evelyn Glennie, along with Nickel Creek's Chris Thile, this is certainly worth the buy!
