The main goal of the radio.string.quartet.vienna is to transfer the power and the energy, which characterize the original recordings of the Mahavishnu Orchestra from the 70s into our decade. Content-wise, John McLaughlin's compositions remain what they are, so does the dedicated and uncompromising way of playing. However, shape and appearance are presented in a new way by this classical and historically important ensemble type and the compositions become accessible to a much larger audience, which is what this powerful and influential music deserves.
