Filmed at their Royal Albert Hall debut gig in September 2000, Bond Live is a slick showcase for four classically trained, ex-session musicians and their fusion of string quartet and rock music. Whatever the hype (four beautiful women wearing scanty tops and dancing with violins while backed by a five-piece rock combo and a small, rarely seen string section), it has nothing to do with making classical music cool and everything to do with sex. In "Duel," first and second violins Haylie Ecker and Eos trade licks "guitar-hero" style, and most of the tracks are new instrumentals written for the album Born, though "The 1812" does manage to reduce Tchaikovsky's overture to a five-minute dance number. With rock-show lighting, synthesizers, dance beats, and a finale involving the "James Bond Theme" followed by a Rio-style fiesta for the closing "Victory--Carnival Mix," this is camp, melodramatic, sexy fun. --Gary S. Dalkin, Amazon.co.uk

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Bond...Brilliant! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Another outstanding DVD production. This one filled with more music, but the lighting for the finale is poor. Great buy!2) Classical hot again. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is how classical music should be from now on and exactly how Mozart would've loved it.3) Expected more... [Rating: 2 out of 5]
not as good as Celtic Woman or Hanley Westenra ... I would say not half good. I can say they have great talent, but artistically ... wrong managed. Stopped watching after 30 min.4) GREAT for die-hard fans [Rating: 5 out of 5]
this is great for die-hard bond fans. i have been a fan since 2000 or 2001 and i love this dvd.5) High Energy Performance [Rating: 5 out of 5]
These women ROCK! This is a wonderful performance by 4 very talented string musicians. It is impossible to watch this video and not start dancing, or at the least, tapping your feet. I enjoy watching it while I'm cooking--really gets me in a festive mood. Highly recommend it if you enjoy up-tempo, contemporary music.
