A special event, as Classical Corner meets It's Progtastic.
First up, the stunning Planets Suite by Gustav Holst, performed by The London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Sir Colin Davis.
Then Rick Wakeman, Jeff Wayne and Kevin Peek bring their Prog interpretation to the fabulous suite.
In all nearly 2 hours of fantastic music to rouse the soul and send the mind on a cosmic journey...



Thanks folks- I'm off for a bacon sarnie :) Check the schedule!!

And if you're wondering why these later pics feature a Goddess.... well, The Planets are waiting for Mother Earth to respond to their overtures...

The motifs in classical music can be traced right through to classic rock- by that I mean the themes of love and passion, sex and death, war and peace, life and decay- all with the same structure of musical development. Think Child of Time, Kashmir, Suite Sister Mary, Spiral Architects, Last in Line, Stargazer.... just bloody awesome.
MERCURY
So beautiful as a piece of music.... and the art is lovely too.
VENUS
So much of Star Wars can be found in this suite!
And of course the John Carter Mars....
Mars?
Good afternoon Baron, excellent shows yesterday Sir.
I hope you are fine and having a good day so far mate.
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you are all well and having a good day so far.
MARS
Good morning Baron... I trust I find you well and keeping safe? :)
Good day gentle Planeteers, shall we go on that first journey then.... the one to the Planets!?!
Morning Baron. Looking forward to this one! Will be finishing off the painting on the stairs but on at full volume, that's for sure.
