She's all kinds of crazy - and the psychoslut persona gets old - but The Great Kat can totally shred.  In fact, she's so scary fast on guitar and violin, that once you retrieve your ego from the gutter, you almost have to laugh.  Her technique is simply insane.  Here, she lays waste to Wagner and other classics, and while the shred/classical genre has been well-mined by other artists, it's still impressive to hear sophisticated melodies and counterpoint lines whiz past your ears at Formula One speeds.  Mercifully, The Great Kat unleashes most of her fretted and unfretted onslaughts in under two-minute chunks - otherwize, the intensity might zap your eardrums into paralysis.  If you're a speed freak, give this mad siren a spin.  TPR Music. - Michael Molenda
