Buyer Reviews : I actually had to convince someone once that the deBeers theme was not written hundreds of years ago. It amused me. It amused them that I owned an album based on a commercial. I commented on how sad it was that a great deal of people get their classical music knowledge from commercials and cartoons. But the commercial was how I was introduced to this album, and for that I am glad. Jenkins says that he was inspired by Palladio the Renaissance architect. I too find Palladio's fastidious application of symmetry to be rather satisfying and sense this symmetry in Jenkins' clean work. Just be warned that the rich sounds of the London Philharmonic are only for the first song and the rest are done by The Smith Quartet. This just means that they are quieter, smaller feeling pieces. I do enjoy the variations though.
