music appreciation

[m00n]

I thought this was pretty cool: 4 musicians, 1 electric cello, Ravel's Bolero (on YouTube).

The group is called Stringfever, 3 brothers and their cousin, based in the UK. You can find a better quality video of Bolero (and a few more videos) on their site (click on the band name).

Despite what many people may think of it, Ravel's Bolero remains one of my favorite orchestral pieces.

Edit: This one is also quite good: The History of Music (20MB quicktime, on the Stringfever site).
