About

10/10 Classicstoday.com The music of Frank Zappa played on baroque instruments? 'As if! Like...grody to the max!' Ensemble Ambrosius is a group that concentrates on contemporary music, using mostly baroque instruments. Their first step in tackling the music of Frank Zappa was to use the 'Stevie Vai' method - every note was first transcribed from the original songs, and then arranged for the ensemble. Then the work began! Retaining the rhythmicality and metric pulse of the music was paramount. The results are like totally, what-ever! This is the ONLY Zappa album ever recorded on baroque instruments. It is a MUST for all Zappa fans.
