Review by Prog-jester
PROG REVIEWER

A Classical record from Soviet times. Actually it wasn't regarded as PROG in that times - it was kinda Rock-Opera. GUSLIAR has elements of Symphonic Prog, strong and obvious ethnic flavour, some jazzy arrangements and even classical-like bits. This is a Legend told by the wonderful voices of the Belarus band PESNYARY. If you're searching for something related to URIAH HEEP's choir - try this one; they sing more softly in sophisticated Folkish manner, but it is the same way beautiful and stunning. Hardly comparable (as almost everything from Russian/Soviet Prog) to anything done before, GUSLIAR is a Must for every Prog Collector, and 4 stars I give it is my personal impression - amazing, but not completely my kind of music.
