- DVD : Steve Vai – Visual Sound Theories (Live With Holland Metropole Orkest)
Despite his reputation as a rock guitar virtuoso, Steve Vai has been writing orchestral scores since the age of 14 (that would be circa 1974) by his estimation and “[amassing] hefty heaps” of them ever since, “but with few performances.” So he notes in his annotations to the ambitious double-CD live set Sound Theories, Vols. 1-2.
Vai’s compositional bent finally was given an outlet by Co de Kloet of Dutch Public Radio & Television, which commissioned him to write an hour’s worth of music to be performed by the Metropole Orkest.
Going through his amassed materials, Vai came up with two hours’ worth, which he and the orchestra performed in a series of concerts in May 2004 and July 2005. Then, he took the recordings home and began working on them, resulting, two years later, in this album, the first two volumes of what he hopes to be a continuing series.

@Erwan His music is as well gentle, intricate and sometimes powerful. Together with the Metropole Orkest it really is something special, to hear, but also to see. No bleeding ears, just awesome 
Thanks @Ermos, will give a try then.
