Synopsis: The Great Kat Bach's "Air On The G String Mosh" is in memorial tribute to Baroque ERa classical music genius, Johann Sebastian Bach and his composition the "Air" in 1730, originally the 2nd movement from Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3, BWV 1068.

Bach's famous masterpiece "Air" gets The Great Kat's Metal treatment as The Great Kat Baroque Guitar Shredder virtuosically shreds 5 lead guitars with beautiful melodic contrapuntal melodies and harmonies, while Great Kat's heavy metal rhythm guitars,
bass and drums pound with headbanging and moshing rhythms.

J.S. Bach's "Air" is one of the most popular Baroque Classical works in history and The Great Kat, Juilliard grad violin virtuoso and "Top 10 Fastest Shredders Of All Time" - Guitar One Magazine- is the only guitar/violin virtuoso trained with Classical
contrapuntal Juilliard theory technique and guitar shredding chops to master this work and bring it into the future with metal. The Great Kat is the only guitar/violin double virtuoso shredding Bach's masterpieces at high speeds and moshes, while
bringing his genius music to a whole new generation with metal.

The Great Kat Metal Legend, celebrates Bach's 336th Birthday year with this powerful new single.

Critique: Superbly produced, this flawless CD showcasing two truly great talents, one from three hundred years in the past (Johann Sebastian Bach, 31 March 1685 - 28 July 1750) and one from the present (Katherine Thomas, born 6 June 1966) -- making it an
especially and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, college, and university library CD music collections. It should be noted for the legions of Great Kat fans that she maintains in informative website at http://www.
