Mailbox Mayhem: Bill (a different Bill) writes: "Being a longtime metal fan with only the very most glancing and superficial knowledge of classical, (own 1000+ CDs, maybe a dozen of which are classical) Stringendo has opened my eyes into a whole new realm. 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."
