It has lead me to a curiosity and love for classical that Yngwie Malmsteen could not inspire, and I am a pretty big fan of his. Yesterday, I stumbled into "Instrument off the Devil", and bought it immediately. Thanks to these recordings, I have my first clues as to what classical I actually do like. Thank you for the first steps into broadening my musical horizons." A conversation with Grammy-nominated classical engineer Bill Maylone.
