When I received "Moment of glory" my first thoughts, before even ripping the shrink wrap, where how utterly preposterous and pompus this album must sound, I mean the Scorpions (possibly the most successful euro-rock band ever) have never avoided any chance to be over the top even when playing some of their better songs or even more tacky numbers like the massive hit "Wind of change", but how wrong could I be. Instead of going the Metallica S&M route of just playing the songs and adding the orchestra over the top to create a massive wall of sound the Scorpions seem to have embraced the sounds and feel of a large orcestra and worked with it to create something stirring and truely memorable. Not being a big fan of the band some of the tracks I had not heard before but ones I had "Hurricane 2000 (rock you like a hurricane)", "Send me an angel" and "Still loving you" do seem to have gained a new lease of life with this recording even though "Moment of glory" and "Wind of change" still fall on the side of sickly sweet rather than hard rock. All in all "Moment of glory" has been a very pleasant and enjoyable surprise from a band that have been going for thirty five years and sold over thirty seven million albums that is quite impressive I think.

Moment Of Glory - Scorpions & Berliner Philharmoniker (The) - review by greensleeves

Advantages: A new sound of old loved songs, welcomed by fans and those who enjoy that kind of music.
Disadvantages: The idea of combinating rock and symphonic doesn't seem original.
