For the past 20 years, Vitamin String Quartet has been a culture sponge, throwing back its modern classical interpretations of the songs we love. The John Hughes films album is one of my favorites because those were the movies and the soundtracks that I grew up with. And I think “Tenderness” is the best cover by far, capturing the wide-eyed, euphoric aspect of the original while adding a peppy, rhythmic string arrangement.
