Country: UK/Italy
Sub Genre: Classical, Symphonic
Label: Hacktrax
Release date: July 1, 2013
Fresh instrumental interpretations of some of the masterpieces of Progressive rock music and some original pieces. This instrumental project was born of our friendship and the same incurable and inextinguishable love of classical and progressive rock music. Between the two genres there exists a continuum of sound – who can say where one ends and the other begins?
With this intention some of the masterpieces of progressive rock music have been chosen. These are fresh interpretations, in a way close to the performance of classical music without drums and vocals.
The core of our idea is to give a place of honour to progressive rock music on the same level as the works of the great classical composers. Progressive rock lyrics have often drawn on elements of myth and fantasy, so some new pieces inspired by the literature of JRR Tolkien
were also included.
