ELP, who else. LOL

But...3 minutes of cover compared to the 2 original hours? Confused


Now I see this. Two hours?! I don't remember that. Shocked I remember listening to something much shorter. Maybe it was only a piece on a compilation, I don't remember well how it was, just that I liked it.

What band was it that you were talking about? LOL

The original 2hr are Prokofiev's, Romeo And Juliet is practically ballett music.

I was talking about Collegium Musicum; they have a 10 minute song on the live album "Collegium Musicum & Marian Varga". That suited fine what I remembered about Prokofiev, but now I don't know anymore what to think...

Brahms fourth, wasn't that the one that was covered by Wakeman on Cans and Brahms?
 
I haven't heard all the works mentioned, but I think I heard at least pieces of most (or all) of the works mentioned. I only can say for sure that I heard Finlandia, the Matthew Passion and the Messiah completely.
 
I love the opening of the Matthew Passion and a lot of the stuff at the end. I love the Montagues and Capulets, and most of what I heard from Brahms and Schumann.
