The Basics
For over a decade now, the Vitamin String Quartet has made it possible for fans of the biggest names in rock and pop to hear their heroes' hits in a whole new way. These guys put the class in classical, but they apply those elegant arrangements to instrumental versions of everything from heart-melting ballads to ear-melting rockers. The soaring violins saturating the Vitamin-ized version of Queen's operatic rock anthem "Bohemian Rhapsody" may not seem completely out-of-left-field, but would you ever have imagined an interpretation of OutKast's pop/hip-hop crossover blockbuster "Hey Ya" that comes off like a Juilliard jam? Or chugging cello riffs firing up a funky feel for a strings-attached take on Michael Jackson's "Beat It"? In Next Steps, the Vitamin Strings stir up a heavy-rock ruckus
