Album Notes & Community Reviews

Completely overriding the actual band with top-tier session musicians, producer David Axelrod crafted a sweeping, highly conceptual follow-up to 'Mass in F Minor'. The complex, heavily orchestrated suite draws its thematic and musical inspiration directly from traditional Jewish liturgy, resulting in a profoundly serious and pioneering work of symphonic rock.
