notes

For too long the cello has lived in the shadows. Centuries of tired bass lines and harmonies have left the unique versatility of the cello largely unrecognized. That is about to change. Formed at Yale University in 2004, Low Strung unites the classical virtuosity of twelve cellists with their indomitable rock and roll spirit. These twelve tracks, all time-tested rock anthems, lay bare the most extreme capabilities of the cello: heartbreaking beauty, bone-crunching rawness, and everything in between.

  • A Blast!
    author: Karen Linkletter

    I'm a cellist, and this is great fun. The arrangements are very good, and the playing is superb, although sometimes the high register sounds a little forced and harsh. Great way to get people (especially students) interested in the instrument. Who says the cello has to be boring?? Rock on!

  • Great!

    I had only heard the small clip of Don't Stop Believing and was blown away by the sound I decided to buy the whole cd. Every song is incredible and they do a great job with each

    I just recently decided to try playing the cello after seeing the movie August Rush, and this CD just makes me want to learn to play the instrument that much more. Such a beautiful sounding instrument, and I love the music offered in this CD. I can’t wait to begin lessons.

    This CD is the perfect way for my fiancé and I to play the classic rock music that we love while keeping our parents happy at our wedding ceremony. Thanks so much!

    I have always had an infatuation with the cello and the musical arrangements on the cd makes me love the instrument even more. I plan on enjoying this one for a long, long time! How about some 60's music the next time, like 5:00 o'clock world, or On Broadway, Under the boardwalk, Upon the Roof or some Aretha Franklin Soul. I know you can do it!

  • Great!

    Had a little trouble with shipping, but once the CD arrived, it was amazing! I played "guess the song" with my family all day. It was a blast! I plan on using a few of these tracks for many occasions to come. Simply awesome!

  • author: G.A. Johnson

    That was beautiful! I can't stop replaying it and just ordered several for presents. Anna, you rock!!! From-Dallas,TX!!!

    Difficult to believe you are listening to just 12 Cello's it shows what a a versatile instrument a Cello can be. Very well done interpretations of some classic rock songs.!!!

    author: Mack Mixson

    Awesome arrangements of pop songs. Scarborough Fair (with the Canticle background) is the only instrumental version of the Simon & Garfunkle classic that I have heard. All the others kept to the Scarborough Fair melody only. Well worth the cost.

  • Great CD
    author: Judson W Roberts

    If you're old enough to recognize these songs (and even if you're not), you'll love these renditions of them.

    I enjoyed enough to order two copies -- one for me and one for a gift. Thanx!

  • Fantastic!!! I can't stop listening to this cd! Buy it!

    One of my violin students told me about this cd and I have started telling everyone I know about it. This cd has great cellists playing terrific arrangements of classic rock songs. The genius of it all is that some of these versions sound better than the originals. Many times, classical instruments playing rock or pop just sound dorky and square, but not this group - they ROCK.
