SCHEHERAZADE AND OTHER STORIES

Without a question "Scheherazade" would be one of my personal favourites of all time from RENAISSANCE along with Songs for all seasons. John Tout is simply a master of keys.The first track is the best from here, John Tout shows that he is among the best keyboards players ever and among the most inventive one. Musically they were at the height of their mastery with flowing musical themes, Haslam's angelic voice and instrumental creativity. Overall "Scheherazade" is a beautiful album filled with lots of classical piano and vocals and of course instrumental imagination. This is a seminal album from a group of classically trained rock musicians, so i give 5 stars without hesitation, one of the masterpieces from the '70.
