This review is from: Orchestral Favorites (Audio CD)

When I first recieved this album, I only listened to two tracks, Strictly Genteel, and Duke of prunes, which I thought were some great songs. Now, as this album has began growing on me, I find myself listening to Pedro's Dowry and Bogus Pomp, sometimes even Naval aviation in art. The fact is that this album grows on you after repeatedly listening to it. And that this album is a beautiful piece of instrumental music.

This review is from: Orchestral Favorites (Audio CD)

This cd has a lot of fun and enough classical traits to make it a gormet listening adventure. What is not so hot about the CD is the fact that it was hacked into conception by Warner Brothers. FZ didn't intend this release to be out in this fashion. Check out Lather release for the intentions and over all feel of where the songs would fit.... but these pieces are second to none. All good and Terry Bozzio rules.

This review is from: Orchestral Favorites (Audio CD)

One of his best collections of works. 40-piece orchestra and a few electrified instruments. Terry Bozzio on drums. But check out "review #1" for the broader picture and details!

5.0 out of 5 stars my favorite orchestral Zappa
I like this even better than THE YELLOW SHARK. I especially like 'Duke Of Prunes' (a beautifully poignant song in any version); 'Bogus Pomp' and 'Strictly Genteel'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't blame Frank for this
This album is one of three Warner Brothers releases that Frank didn't have much involvement in (thus, the horrid cover art). Read more
