The String Quartet Tribute to Nirvana’s Nevermind

Vitamin String Quartet

Nirvana's defining grunge melodies stripped of their distortion and rebuilt as tense, rhythmic chamber music for four strings.

A sophisticated yet restless interpretation that trades distortion for the physical tension of vibrating strings.

Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic four-note riff of track 1 rendered as a sharp, rhythmic cello chop that mimics the original's punch.
The way the violins mimic the vocal strain of the chorus in track 5, hitting high notes with a slight, intentional vibrato.
A frantic, percussive section in track 7 where the strings are played with such velocity they almost sound like they might snap.
