Throughout the 1980s, "We are the Scorpions!" was lead vocalist Klaus Meine's concert-opening battle cry, energizing and readying the faithful in sold-out stadiums for a Teutonic onslaught of vital, sometimes plodding, eardrum-splitting rock anthems. In short, the arena-rock monsters were never a picnic-under-the-stars kind of band ... until Moment of Glory. The new millennium brings the Scorpions full circle, melding in-your-face party anthems like "Rock You Like a Hurricane" (now called "Hurricane 2000") and "Big City Nights" into fully orchestrated concoctions featuring the Berlin Philharmoniker. Where the grandiose likes of "Wind of Change" and "Still Loving You" are obvious choices for such a pairing, and indeed, work well, the "Deadly Sting Suite," with almost unrecognizable instrumental versions of "He's a Woman, She's a Man" and "Dynamite," will likely catch the unknowing fan of classic Scorps off guard. Both Deep Purple and Metallica have used full orchestras to accent their songs with mixed results, and the same goes for the Scorps. There's a fine line between wine-and-cheese classical fare and whiney and cheesy metal. Here the Scorpions teeter, if often gracefully, on that line. --Katherine Turman

Got me hooked on Scorpions.......2007-04-12

I absolutely love the marriage of rock and symphony here. It's gorgeous. The Scorpions take already amazing songs and pump them up an extra notch. A long time ago I heard "Still Loving You" on the radio, not knowing who sung it. It took me years to finally discover the Scorpions. I own two different versions of "Still Loving You," and I far prefer this one to the original. It gives me this yearning inside. The only thing I don't like about this album is the guest vocalists. I love Klaus Meine. He adds an ethereal element to the music, and with the guest vocals, it takes away from the beauty, in my opinion. But don't let that deter you from getting this, because it is so worth it. "Rock You Like a Hurricane" is amazing! It's all amazing!

Moment of Glory.......2007-04-01

With metal music it is always louder is better and this album found one of the coolest ways to make metal louder. Combining the Scorpions with a the Philharmonic creates one of the coolest sounding albums I have ever heard.

[].......2007-03-14

i dont own this album but i have heard the songs off of it and i think their all great and performed well. and also as a side note since i read alot of comments about the guest vocals on "big city nights" but no mention of who: it is Ray Wilson best known for replacing Phill Collins in Genesis and recording the classic Calling all Stations

dynamite!.......2002-10-21

Just when you think the scorpions couldn't do worst...they prove you wrong!
Even Metallica's s&m is better...close but still.
I am sure that it was a great experience to live, for the band and the audience, because that type of event is always unique and can bring strong emotions-unless you have a dumb..s sitting next to you, drinkin' beer and screaming every five minutes Dynamiiiiiiite!!-but on cd...for me it doesn't do it,but it probably is a treasure for those who were there.
Now, I'm not gonna start the debat with DEEP PURPLE and the LSO(1999) but I was there at the Royal Albert Hall and that's why I can understand the concept and the thrill of holding the recording of such concerts...but still DEEP PURPLE 's symphonic album features something that neither Scorpions or Metallica holds...and this is an ORIGINAL PIECE OF MUSIC CREATED FOR A GROUP AND A ORCHESTRA!

Truly a Moment of Glory for the Scorpions!.......2002-07-31

AWESOME is how I would sum up this CD. From the moment I first heard it, I knew I HAD to have it. Buy it! You won't be disappointed!

Customer Reviews:

hurricane 2000.......2000-08-11

I just heard this track on the radio and could not help being amazed by it's grandeur. It starts out ripping into an orchestral stringed flurry, settles into the renowned anthem we all know backed by a powerful high pitched whine of the orchestra, and finishes strong with the original strings. Very powerful music. It's one of those tracks you hear once and vow to find the album to own, even if just for that single addictive sound.

Moment of Glory (CD Single) (Import).......2000-07-16

I have not yet purchased this single or album, but will do very shortly. I have been listening to the song daily on our local radio station. In my view it is some of the best work the scorpions have done for years,on the single alone. I will be buying the album for sure!

Excellent! Perfect! Two thumbs up!.......2000-07-13

Well SCORPIONS are German ! arent they? those are the grandsons of Beethophen for sure! 100% Quality music! worth every cent and penny!

I feel very proud for being a SCORPIONS fan!

So come on and buy it,.. this is what I call music

Classical Comeback.......2000-07-12

This CD will appeal to old time fans of the German rockers. And although the classical element may scare away a few, I recommend a listen before U dismiss this recording. Two legends have come together and it shows-all the power, all the finesse....Buy it before it stocks out. This one will rock U like a hurricane.

Scorpions Gone Classic(al)!.......2000-07-04

Yes, the German rockers have teamed up with Berlin Philharmonic orchestra in full force to record this new track. An inspirational power ballad penned by frontman Klaus Meine himself.

Chosen as the offical anthem for Expo 2000 in Hanover in which they have performed the song live.

Customer Reviews:

Outstanding Concept and Presentation.......2006-09-07

This CD is very well done. The band does not overpower the orchestra or vice-versa.

Moment of Glory and Here in My Heart are songs that are about as "beautiful" as a metal band can be. It was wise of the band to include the seemingly underrated "Crossfire." This instrumental arrangement is spectacular. The only song I was not overly impressed with was "Lady Starlight." But that doesn't mean it's bad.

Anyone who claims that Metal bands are not true artists will eat their words when they hear this. A Scorpions collection is incomplete if it does not include this CD.

Simply beautiful.......2006-03-31

Hmm... I am not a fan of hard rock music that much but I like those ballads scorpions played & this album is 1 of my favorites among them just different from what they've done before when rockers meet the orchestra it means new world of music begun approaching

Scorpions go heavy classical!.......2003-12-29

I heard a cut from this album on the radio and it made the hairs on my arms stand up! Really powerful! There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking some hard rockin' music like this and putting some strings with it - it just gives you another reason to listen to some really great music! I've told so many people about this CD - they all agree it's excellent!

magical masterpiece.......2003-10-13

finally, the scorpions palyed their songs with an orchestra in a way of getting the optimized quality for their songs.
the songs r great in ther new edited version.
thanks for this masterpiece
