They rely on visuals to be entertaining. I remember seeing and  
hearing about them a few years ago.  Good videos.   But I am  
not sure if I could listen to their music *just* as music.

I do prefer the mellow sound of cello over a screetching  
violin. I own some CDs by Ofra Harnoy. She made classical fresh  
and interesting by applying the instrument to contemporary  
pieces too.

My first exposure to a true classical/rock fusion crossover was  
Dollie DeLuxe (80s), and Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre  
of the Earth ('74)

Oh yes.. I remember you posted about that group a few months  
ago. I never heard of them before. I haven't explored more of  
that material though.  Maybe it's time for a revisit.

I love how this lady isn't afraid to challenge norms:

She appreciates a good rock treatment to traditional classic  
material.
