5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeds my expectations, 31 Mar 2005

By	Stephen Muires (Bryn Athyn, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Metamorpheus (Audio CD)

I am really happy with this newest acoustic disk of Hackett's. After his previous guitar albums I have been waiting for more pure acoustic material. This album fills the bill, although I must add in a different way than expected.

Even Midsummer Night's Dream was quite heavy on guitar pieces, i.e. pieces where the guitar is the solo instrument and leads the way, with some orchestra interspersed. Here on Metamorpheus the music itself is central, with the guitar often merging so smoothly into the whole that it doesn't stand out. But the music is wonderful, beautiful and very expressive.

There is almost a kind of naivity about the music and the concept of this album, and that's what brings out the charm. This is the album of a phantastic composer, more than the album of a phantastic guitarist.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful CD, 22 May 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Metamorpheus (Audio CD)

I came to this CD through Steve Hackett's prog music (which I highly recommend) and was a little unsure whether I would like it or not. After a few listens I was still a little unsure but after a few more listens it clicked and a wonderful appreciation of this great music grew in me. Truly beautiful and conveys wonderfully the sad, moving story of Orpheus. The guitar does not dominate too much and there is a perfect balance between orchestra and Hackett on guitar.

Whether a prog fan or a classical lover, this CD is highly recommended. A must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars You should own this CD, 13 April 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Metamorpheus (Audio CD)

A true delight to have discovered this CD. An engaging musical work for guitar and orchestra, beautifully played by Steve Hackett and The Underworld Orchestra.
Tonally and musically rich, involving and overall a CD that deserves to be heard, enjoyed and, of course, owned.
