The orchestral arrangements on Wakeman's "Myths and Legends" are the best orchestral arrangements ever written for rock. Period.
Peace.

Let us not forget Dave Palmer's fantabulastic arrangements on Minstrel in the Gallery, Heavy Horses and other string-laden Tull classics.

Along with the albums you mentioned, the most strong strings in JT's discography is on War Child, an album by many underrated.

Exactly my thought. Amazing album. It took me a while to like it and after the first listen I thought it was pretty weird, but now I love it. The Orchestration is incredible, especially in the heavy songs where the strings add such great rhythm and mass to the overall sound. |

It's seems to be no one knows After Crying... amazing hungarian band with awsome orchestral arrangements in almost every album... you have to listen OVERGROUND MUSIC, DE PROFUNDIIS, FOLD ES EG and 6... beautiful pieces... I also love Renaissance but I think After Crying deserves a highest place into this poll...
Peace & Love--- |

The Enid or Sky, but I think the Enid wins overall

What no mention of Alan Parson's Project?
Any orchestral arrangement done by that genius called Andrew Powell is a masterpiece, despite the quality of the central musical piece.
If youdon't believe me, listen "In the Lap of the Gods" from Pyramids, excellent production mixed with excellent Orchestra has to be great.

Renaissance... That is what they were all about and at time when orchestra was not a regular element in prog.
When I think of Classical/Orchestral rock I think of Renaissance above anyone else.

I vote Yes largely because of "Symphonic Live" which I have been watching constantly, since I got it last week. The best live DVD/CD I have ever experienced.

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks. |
