An album of Steve Hackett's music performed on grand piano and pipe organ. Performed and transcribed by international organist & pianist Marco Lo Muscio
In Marco’s own words…
“This musical project comes from my passion for Progressive music of the late 60’s and early 70’s. In my opinion Progressive Rock is a highly creative and important movement in contemporary music. It blends rock with classical music - notably with Stravinsky, Bartok, Debussy, Bach and Beethoven - with Blues and with Jazz.
The core of my creative idea is to make transcriptions of selected Progressive Rock compositions adapting them for pipe organ and Steinway 9’ grand piano, to enhance the musical qualities of the compositions and to give them a deeper acoustic feeling, closer to Classical music, with the breathtaking beauty of these magnificent musical instruments - the D274 9’ Steinway grand piano and the Ruffati pipe organ of the Canadian church in Rome.
This album is a tribute to Steve Hackett, composer and guitarist, born in 1950 in London”.
