“The Yellow Shark”, named after a plexiglas fish given to Zappa in 1988, was culled from seven September 1992 concerts given in Vienna, Berlin, and Frankfurt by the ‘Ensemble Modern’. The range of pieces goes from string quartets to ensemble works, from very challenging contemporary classical to old Zappa favorites.

In 1991, Zappa was chosen to be one of four featured composers at the Frankfurt Festival in 1992 (the others were John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Alexander Knaifel). Zappa was approached by the German chamber ensemble, ‘Ensemble Modern’, which was interested in playing his music for the event. Although ill, Zappa invited them to Los Angeles for rehearsals of new compositions and new arrangements of older material.  

In addition to being satisfied with the ensemble's performances of his music, Zappa also got along with the musicians, and concerts in Germany and Austria were set up for the fall.

It was the last Zappa album released before his death one month later. In the album's notes, Zappa describes “The Yellow Shark” as one of the most fulfilling projects of his career, and as the best representation of his orchestral works.

For those with interests in his serious music it is an essential item.

The posthumous album “EIHN: Everything Is Healing Nicely”, released in 1999, contains recordings from around the same time, made in preparation for the performances documented on “The Yellow Shark”.
