Amazon.co.uk Review
Perhaps Metallica are to blame. When they decided to tour with an entire symphony orchestra and release the result as an awesome live album (1999's S&M), little could they know that they would inspire others to follow suit. With Moment Of Glory, German poodle rockers the Scorpions have done just that. Unfortunately, where Metallica's collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra added new levels of immensity and menace to some of their best tracks, the Scorpion's collaboration with Berliner Philharmoniker only comes out sounding rather tepid. New song "Moment Of Glory" comes across all Disney, especially when the children's choir kicks in, while Zucchero steers the once-proud rockers down the middle of the road when he guests on "Send Me An Angel". Only "Hurricane 2000" (a new version of "Rock Me Like A Hurricane") displays any of its former rocking grandeur. Bassoons don't rock. Neither do flutes, or piccolos. It's obvious to the rest of the world, so why did nobody inform the Scorpions? --Robert Burrow
CD Description
The Scorpions and the Berlin Philharmonic team up for a record that, amazingly, is a credit to both the classical and rock communities. Recorded in Berlin and Vienna, MOMENT puts a new spin on some old favourites. Conceived in the mid-'90s, the album came to fruition with the help of arranger Christian Kolonovits.
"Hurricane 2000" begins with a symphonicpiece that hints at the familiar riff that dominated rock radio in the '80s. "Moment Of Glory" is a beautiful new ballad written featuring a choir. "Send Me An Angel", equally as sweeping, is given a new life in this classical version by the vocal talents of Zucchero. "Crossfire" is a combination of violins and the superb lead guitar work of Matthias Jabs; it builds to a bombastic crescendo. The band continues its power ballad trend on "Here In My Heart", where Klause Meine duets beautifully with Lyn Liechty. On MOMENT OF GLORY, the Scorps reinvent themselves once again; feel the sting.
