Her own arrangements for this CD are largely violin-based with additional combinations of electric piano, acoustic & electric guitar, and saxophone accompaniments. Some well known favourites such as Handel's 'Arrival of the Queen of Sheba' and Pachelbel's Canon make up the track listing, alongside some lesser known treasures such as movements from Corelli and De Fesch violin sonatas, as well as 'Ruth-time Classics' like Vivaldi's 1st movement from 'Spring' and Handels Allegro.
