ELP, junto a Pink Floys, Yes y Genesis (mis favoritos) son los representantes mas genuinos del prog rock de final de los 60 y los 70. Emerson que venia de "The Nice", Palmer de "Atomic Rooster" y Lake de los "King Crimson", a falta del J. Hendrix, que en su momento iba a formar parte del supergrupo, proyecto que se frustro por su muerte en 1970, formaron un grupo que fue denominado de "superinstrumentistas" por la calidad de sus tres miembros. Hicieron 5 discos magistrales, y este "Pictures" basado en la obra clasica de Modesto Mussorgsky, es uno de sus grandes discos. En el momento de escribir esto, estoy disfrutando de la ultima pieza, "Nutroker", de el cascanueces de Tchaikovsky al que cambiaron el nombre, y en cuyas manos se convierte en un sublime R&R.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer perform Mussorgsky's "Pictures At An Exhibition". Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Keith Emerson (keyboards); Greg Lake (vocals, guitar, bass); Carl Palmer (drums, percussion). 2005 Japanese import edition, this features K2 High Definition encoding and paper sleeve of original artwork. CD comes in Jpn LP Sleeve. Much was made of early prog-rock's fusion of rock with classical music, but ELP was one of the only bands to take that task seriously, and never more so than on PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION. The well-known Mussorgsky piece is a staple of the classical music diet, and a prime example of "program music," where related sections of a piece combine to tell a story. True to the spirit of the times, ELP attacked "Pictures" with both classically trained respect and rocker irreverence. The album, recorded live in 1971, finds the band turning Mussorgsky's work inside out, not just restructuring it but reinventing it for their rock audience. While sections like "Promenade" and The Hut of Baba Yag...
