Dreamy and Sublime - As Easy As Shakespeare Gets, November 5, 2004
This review is from: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Audio CD)
As a teenager in the UK in the 70s I was a rabid Genesis fan. Now I have grown into more classical tastes and I was not expecting this to live up to either genre. But I am surprised and delighted by this beautiful music. Steve's guitar playing is gorgeous and reminds me of Segovia playing the classics but somehow with more feeling if that's possible. The music exudes a dreamy magic and some of the themes, especially the orchestral ones representing nature (sea, mountains and clouds), are sublime, reminding me of my favourite parts of Vaughan Williams symphonies. Listening to this wonderful music is as easy as Shakespeare gets and grows better the more you play it.
