Mike Mills: Concerto for Violin, Rock Band, and String Orchestra
Various Artists
In this unique crossover work, R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills delivers a swinging rock 'n' roll concerto. Redolent of the ‘70s orchestral rock of Elton John and Electric Light Orchestra, this work combines tight grooves, rumbling riffs, and virtuosic musicianship by both soloist Robert McDuffie and the orchestra members.
