5 stars Review #170

This is an excellent live recording of Frank Zappa's classical compositions; in my reviews about "London Symphony Orchestra" and "Francesco Zappa" I've already expressed my opinions about this kind of Zappa records: even when I do believe they are truly masterpieces, they're not on the field of Progressive or any other kind of Rock (probably this record is the one that has more rock elements and they are really subtle), so if I ever make a list of my top classical music recordings this will have a very high position, but not for Prog Rock, not rock at all.

SONG RATING: Strictly genteel, 5 Pedro's dowry, 5 Naval aviation in art, 3 Duke of prunes, 5 Bogus pomp, 5

AVERAGE: 4.6

PERCENTAGE: 92

ALBUM RATING: 5 stars
