"Instrumental versions of such rock classics as "Fade to Black" and "All Apologies" are mixed with stunning classical selections like Paganini's "Caprice No. 24 in A minor" and Handel's brilliant "Passacaglia for violin and cello," with surprising success. Barton is ably supported by violinist Edgar Gabriel and cellist Brandon Vamos, whose intensity brings the power of the harder rock selections fully to life."
Pioneer Press

"Rachel is a fantastic player of any genre! In fact, the entire lineup is supreme. This CD embraces heavy metal with the virtuosity of classical musicians. The songs are expertly arranged and performed! Imagine Mozart meets Metallica! If you like your music adventurous, talent laden and stylish, then this CD is for you!"

"This CD is fantastic! Not only does this CD make you re-think your preconceptions about the metal genre, it makes you realize how EXCEPTIONAL some of modern music is. It also showcases some interesting comparative pieces- it takes some guts to put Paganini and Metallica on the same CD- and it works beautifully."
