20th CENTURY GUITAR Great classical music masters of the past have always been admired by rock fans. Now California-based guitarist Danney Alkana puts a new spin on the term classical rock. Arranging 10 memorable themes of Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, Paganini and more for Stratocasters and synthesized strings, Alkana fearlessly fuses the realms of classical and rock. Even more amazing is that Alkana performs all the instruments himself – from multi-tracking the guitars to playing keyboards, bass and drums. With this much talent and musical know-how, it's hard to believe that the all instrumental "Rock the Bach" is Alkana's first major project. In the interesting liner notes, Alkana admits he's a confirmed rock fan, who bought his first guitar after hearing Jeff Beck's "Truth" album. On "Rock the Bach", Alkana expertly blends his knack for playing heavy metal guitar with his love of timeless Baroque and Renaissance music.
