Par Lindh Project - “In Concert - Live In Poland.”
This is a real treat for anyone who misses ELP-style neoclassical prog. Par Lindh has taken up the reins of that style and continued in the tradition of both covering classical music in a keys/bass/drums trio format, and creating new works for just such a trio. Par Lindh plays surrounded by about 6 or 8 keyboards, often switching back and forth between them with lightning speed for only a few beats at a time on any one. William Kopecky plays fretted and fretless basses with impressive precision and feeling, and Svetlan Raket pounds away on the drums in tasteful and powerful style.
Not only are we treated to over an hour of Lindh’s original compositions and classical covers, there’s the mysterious “Suite In Progress.” As Lindh explains, “this is so new it doesn’t have a name yet.” But he promises that it will be on the next album, with vocals added.
Check it out. Good stuff for all you ELP-style neoclassical prog rock trio fans. Go to Par Lindh’s website for more info. http://www.parlindh.com/
