Synopsis
Though they began their career as a Led Zeppelin-influenced blues-rock band, Jethro Tull eventually embraced a courtly, near-Elizabethan sound led by the delicate flute styling of chief songwriter, Ian Anderson. It therefore seems natural for Anderson to fully insert the "classic" into classic rock with symphonic arrangements of Jethro Tull songs performed in concert with Frankfurt, Germany's New Philharmonic Orchestra. Together, the flutist and orchestra breathe new life into the tricky time changes and long suites of Tull classics like ‘Calliandra Shade’, ‘Griminelli's Lament’, ‘Locomotive Breath’, and, of course, ‘Aqualung’. Full track list includes: ‘Eurology’, ‘Calliandra Shade’, ‘Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Idea’, ‘Up The Pool’, ‘We Five Kings’, ‘Life Is A Long Song’, ‘In The Grip Of Stronger Stuuf’, ‘Wond’ring Aloud’, ‘Griminelli’s Lament’, ‘Cheap Day Return’, ‘Mother Groose’, ‘Bouree’, ‘Boris Dancing’, ‘Living In The Past’, ‘Pavane’, ‘Aqualung’, God Rest Te Merry Gentlemen’, ‘My God’, ‘Budapest’, ‘Locomotive Breath’.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nearly but not quite., 12 Jun 2007

By	ade spencer "ade" (england) - See all my reviews

As a long time Jethro Tull fan I looked forward very much to this release.Tull with a new twist i thought. I have to say though its slightly disappointing. The orchestrations dont go far enough,the arrangements dont really make use of the variety an orchestra can bring to bear. The whole thing suffers because its neither one thing nor another. Its not just Ian with orchestra he has a "Rock" band on stage with him too.If he was going to play as "Tull with orchestra" than Id rather have seen the Jethro Tull line up on stage rather than Ians "Solo" tour band. (Martin Barre is sadly missed).The whole thing just doesnt sit together,the drums and electric guitar dont fit at all,songs from the Tull Canon are not rearranged enough for orchestra. Id like to see Ian write music especially for orchestra and drop the "Rock" band for this sort of project and truly play with orchestra.An opportunity missed I think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ian Anderson solo effort, 1 Jun 2006

By	Youri (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ian Anderson Plays the Orchestral Jethro Tull [DVD] [2004] [US Import] (DVD)

Ian Anderson solo effort

First and most important: it is NOT Jethro Tull!
It is a show of Ian Anderson with a group of session musicians and a symphonic orchestra (Frankfurt Philharmonic, to be exact). If you are looking for Jethro Tull live DVD, you've got a wrong disk. This show is as different from traditional rock concert almost as, say, "Aqualung" is different from "Divinities - 12 dances with God". But if you are looking for DVD with good music, then you have found one!

The tracklist includes songs from IA solo albums and JT classics:
01. Eurology
02. Calliandra Shade
03. Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of A New Day
04. Up The Pool
05. We Five Kings
06. Life Is A Long Song
07. In The Grip Of Stronger Stuff
08. Wond'ring Aloud
09. Griminelli's Lament
10. Cheap Day Return
11. Mother Goose
12. Bouree
13. Boris Dancing
14. Living In The Past
15. Pavane
16. Aqualung
17. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
18. My God
19. Budapest
20. Locomotive Breath

You will be amazed by some of the arrangements (Aqualung in particular) and the way Ian Anderson communicates with the audience. BTW, I enjoyed the interview section of this DVD almost as much as the concert itself!
I am sure that if you like different kinds of music, you will love this DVD.
