Synopsis

In this rare and ground breaking performance, hugely popular heavy metal band Metallica is accompanied by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra with Michael Kamen conducting. The pairing of the full and lush-sounding symphony with the guitar-driven virtuosity works well, giving way for a deeper, more subtle appreciation of Metallica's well-constructed, impressively written music. This music experiment will appeal to hard rock and classical music fans alike!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awe Inspiring, 10 Jul 2001
By S. Welton "Stevey" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a truly spectacular DVD. I am a massive Metallica fan and I appreciate all good music - and it doesn't get much better than this.

It is almost essential to listen to this concert at least three times, differently. The best feature has to be the ability to play the concert listening to the orchestra only (cutting out the band) and vice versa. This way you can listen in awe to the orchestra playing without the band. The fact that you can hear the guys echoeing in the background too adds to the flavour of the sound. The San Francisco Symphony sound amazing backing up those classic tunes, and likewise Metallica pump out an amazing performance with two new songs to boot. And you can't beat Battery finishing the whole thing off.

From start to finish, listening to it with the orchestra, without the orchestra, and with orchestra on it's own, it it an awe-inspiring musical experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Special + Memorable, 11 Jun 2003
By Moi (England, UK) - See all my reviews
This concert sees the combination of two very different worlds - heavy metal and classical music, but they come together amazingly! The orchestra emphasises James' vocals, Kirk's lead guitar, Jason's bass and Lars' drums to perfection. The whole concert is an amazing concept which adds that extra special something to Metallica's already sensational music. There are Metallica's classics: Nothing Else Matters, One and Master of Puppets all on here as well as two new tracks: '-Human' and 'No leaf clover'. The genius that is Michael Kamen makes this concert so distinctive in the contribution of his talent as well. The orchestra cannot be ignored - even if you're no fan of classical music, you cannot say that they haven't made something remarkable.
The extras are good as well. There's in-depth behind-the-scenes footage, angles and the option to play the orchestra alone, or Metallica on their own - but the two playing simultaneously is something not to be missed. It's breathtaking and even die-hard Metallica fans will not be disappointed. To be honest, I was very sceptical of this concert, but now, I can't get enough. Watch or listen with an open mind and prepare to be amazed!

5.0 out of 5 stars simply epic, 9 April 2005
what can i say that has'nt been written about metallica? this dvd in my mind is epic. from the intro of ecstasy of gold, to the incredibly deep master of puppets, and the surprisingly touching rendition of outlaw torn, this dvd is worth getting if you're an open minded metal fan, or open minded classical fan.
i think its incredible how metallica's work translates so easily and beautifully to classical, and the band should be given credit for this. the conducter, michael kamen, unfortunately passed away in 2004 i beleive, which adds even more to the occasion.

inspiring and jaw -droppingly incredible, i am simply in even more awe than i was before of the awesome metallica
