Title NoteAs the man who made rockabilly popular with the big-haired, synth-soaked '80s New Wave crowd, and then helped pioneer a big-band swing revival in the grunge-ridden '90s, Brian Setzer is the Miracle Man of American music. This makes it possible to understand how he can pull off rockin', jump-blues-tinged, big-band versions of famous themes by venerated classical composers on WOLFGANG'S BIG NIGHT OUT. In yet another unprecedented move, Setzer and his orchestra lend big brassy horn riffs, swinging grooves, and of course plenty of death-defying jazz/blues guitar licks to the works of Mozart, Beethoven, et al. Neither classical music nor swing are ever likely to be the same again, and that probably suits Setzer just fine. If You Enjoy "Wolfgang's Big Night Out (CD)", May We Also Recommend:

By harmonymusic
Brian Setzer has done a tremendous job taking famous classical pieces and
weaving them into top-notch big band charts. What a musical genius! I saw the
Brian Setzer Orchestra in concert a few weeks ago and he played some of the
pieces from this CD. Everyone in the audience - young and old alike loved the
arrangements. Definitely a creative work and he did a fabulous job.
Classical + Swing Fun!, November 23, 2008
By Diana820
If you like the big band swing sound and a good classical piece now and then,
this CD combines the best of both worlds. I especially enjoyed the BSO take on
Flight of the Bumblebee.
