Album Notes & Community Reviews

Helmed by renowned Argentine composer Luis Enriquez Bacalov, the group abandoned their heavy rock origins for an incredibly lavish, orchestra-driven exploration of Johann Sebastian Bach's works. The resulting suite perfectly illustrates the high drama and staggering classical ambition that categorized the golden era of the Rock Progressivo Italiano movement.
