It's looks like THE GREAT KAT is the specialist of publication of DVD. Anyway the specific work of THE GREAT KAT has only sense during simultaneous listening and watching. It would be difficult to listen these sounds without watching. I think that the fans of such playing are minority. And I think that the visual effects attract different listeners. THE GREAT KAT is well-known as the virtuoso of guitar and the violin as well as as the original interpreter of works of classic music, for example: Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart, Paganini and others. Moreover the artist is the champion of shredding – It is audible and visible in her compositions undeniably.

“Beethoven's Guitar Shred” usually presents the metal arrangements of classic works played on the guitar and the violin by the accompaniment of the mad rhythmical section. However the works are played with improbable speed – these are the very quick, mad and furious compositions full of solos as well as brutal screams (in author's works). The terrific speed and the technique of play make the short works. But from the second side I think that the listener's brain do not hold out the longer exposition of the destructive wall of sound.

The every aural experiences of THE GREAT KAT are increased by the visual experiences. The content of the videoclips is very controversial. There we will see the masterly technique of the artist's play but and the scenes of violence, the tortures and the sado-masochistic fancies of THE GREAT KAT. The hectolitre of a blood connected with the domination and with the rape fill up almost the every second of the videoclips. Additionally the DVD also has the educational value for meeting of the masters' works of classic music.

Moreover the DVD contains information of THE GREAT KAT as well as the grotesque animation with the music. The whole is very dark, perverse, shocking, vampiric, blasphemous and brutal as well as even psychotic. The DVD is not for people with the weak nerves (there is the warning etiquette – “Parental Advisory”). Though I wonder – Will THE GREAT KAT surprise me in future yet (since the every DVD has identical shocking climate)?
