Yngwie Malmsteen is arguably the most technically accomplished hard rock guitarist to emerge during the '80s. Combining a dazzling technique honed over years of practice with a love for such classical composers as Bach, Beethoven and Paganini, Malmsteen's distinctively Baroque, gothic compositional style and lightning-fast arpeggiated solos rewrote the book on heavy metal guitar. His largely instrumental debut album, Rising Force, immediately upped the ante for aspiring hard rock guitarists and provided the major catalyst for the '80s guitar phenomenon known as "shredding," in which the music's main focus was on impossibly fast, demanding licks. Malmsteen released a series of albums over the course of the '80s that, aside from slight differences in approach and execution, were strongly similar to Rising Force, and critics charged him with showing little artistic progression. Following a series of personal setbacks, tragedies, and even injuries, Malmsteen eventually resurfaced on small, independent labels and then recorded at a prolific, rapid pace, continuing to play the music he loved in his patented neo-classical style. While his popularity has largely faded in the U.S., Malmsteen still finds audiences in Europe and he is more popular in Japan and Asia than ever. Steve Huey, allmusic.

The neo-classical guitar wizard Yngwie J. Malmsteen originally released Magnum Opus in 1995. The CD features grandiose classics such as "Vengeance", "Fire In The Sky" and "I'd Die Without You", as well as instrumentals such as "Overture 1622", "Dawn" and "Cantabile". "Vengeance", in particular, has a jaw-dropping shred solo that will put air guitarists in heaven. Vivaldi's "Cantabile" is a bonus track that was added when the disc was originally released in Japan, then re-released by Spitfire Records in 2000. Neo-classical fans will find Magnum Opus a necessary item for their collection. Guitar9.com.
