ELLESMERE - CD LES CHATEAUX DE LA LOIRE

Popis - LES CHATEAUX DE LA LOIRE:
Ellesmere is the brainchild of Roberto Vitelli, bass and guitar player from Italian prog band Taproban. Here Vitelli focuses on an acoustic and yet symphonic approach, delivering a stunning 40-minute suite much in the style of early Genesis and Anthony Phillips' works. As the title suggests, every section of the suite is dedicated to one of the ancient French castles that reside along the Loire river. Several acoustic, classical and 12-string arpeggiato guitar layers are topped with beautiful strings and flute melodies (John Hackett is guesting on most of the tracks). And an original vintage Mellotron provides further orchestration.
