Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E‐flat minor, op. 1

Yngwie Malmsteen

A literal bridge between the 18th and 20th centuries. No drums, no vocals, just a Fender Stratocaster leading a full symphony through baroque fire.

February 18, 1998 · Barbad Music

A majestic and highly disciplined display of technical mastery and baroque grandeur.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition in Fugue where the guitar and woodwinds engage in a complex counterpoint chase

The soaring, sustained vibrato of the lead guitar over the brass fanfare in the opening track

The sheer velocity of the alternate picking during the climax of Presto Vivace
