Album Notes & Community Reviews

Former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett presents a fully orchestrated, classical instrumental interpretation of Shakespeare's famous play. Recorded alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the album is a grand, traditional showcase of Western classical music entirely divorced from his progressive rock roots.
