Synopsis

Filmed at their Royal Albert Hall debut gig in September 2000, Bond Live is a slick showcase for four classically trained, ex-session musicians and their fusion of string quartet and rock music. Whatever the hype (four beautiful women wearing scanty tops and dancing with violins while backed by a five-piece rock combo and a small, rarely seen string section), it has nothing to do with making classical music cool and everything to do with sex. In "Duel," first and second violins Haylie Ecker and Eos trade licks "guitar-hero" style, and most of the tracks are new instrumentals written for the album Born, though "The 1812" does manage to reduce Tchaikovsky's overture to a five-minute dance number. With rock-show lighting, synthesizers, dance beats, and a finale involving the "James Bond Theme" followed by a Rio-style fiesta for the closing "Victory--Carnival Mix," this is camp, melodramatic, sexy fun.

ccthemovieman-1 This is different, and a nice treat for the eyes and the ears, particularly if you are a man who enjoys a pretty woman's face. "Bond" is a group of four attractive British female violinists who are talented enough to give a performance at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London. This was filmed in a September, 2000, concert.The girls play up their looks by wearing skimpy clothes, which is a little odd for violin and viola players, but who's complaining? One plays the cello, too. As colorful as the women and the sets are, the attraction is still what it should be: the music. These women may be young - and sound a bit immature when they talk, being nervous in their first big concert, but they can play!I don't think this group ever recorded any followup concerts for DVD, and I'd like to see how they've progressed.
