Back in the mid 1980's, when Yngwie first burst onto the scene, Yngwie Malmsteen said that a dream of his was to compose a concerto for Electric Guitar and Orchestra. After hearing "Rising Force", I always thought that it would be great to hear "Black Star", "Far beyond the Sun" and "Icarus Dream Suite" played with the depth of an orchestra in the background instead of rock instruments. At the beginning of this millenium, the dream was realized with the release of "Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra" on CD. Now that same Suite is available on DVD. This is not a typical working of a rock band and orchestra which has been done by everyone from Elton John to Metallica. Yngwie wrote every note for every instrument and even for a full Choir. His understanding of music theory is... More Info About This DVD Actor(s): Yngwie Malmsteen DVD Release Date: Released the 01 November 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

There's little doubt that Yngwie Malmsteen is one of the most impressive guitar soloists in the hard rock genre, and his soloing prowess is certainly on display in this live concert DVD, recorded in Brazil in May of 1998. On pure musicianship alone, I'd be inclined to rate this performance a little higher, but the musical aspects of this show were too often overshadowed by bad production work that turned out to be far too often irritating.
