Renaissance Novella 1977 UK, Symphonic Prog

Описание: Renaissance - Novella 1977 (UK, Symphonic Prog)

  Seventh album in the discography (# 46 in the US Billboard 200). A textbook example of symphonic prog of the highest quality ...Just another sublime Renaissance album! Following the marvelous "Song for Scheherazade", Novella still has many of its magical moments. There are wonderful orchestral arrangements, unforgettable melodic piano parts, and the bass is well played, sophisticated and absolutely not timid. Annie's voice is superb, as always, and the other musicians produce excellent backing vocals. There are harp, small bells, tubular bells and acoustic guitar. The keyboards fit well with the symphonic ensemble. The influence is, again, very baroque and progressive. There are some mellow, delicate, mystical & dreamy bits which are really addictive. If you like the previous album, then you should like this one too.
