THE MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF KING ARTHUR AND THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE

I was suprised at the wide range of scores for this album - the full spectrum, from 1 through 5. To me, it has some great orchestration, fine playing from the man himself, and despite some occasionally weak lyrics, the album really does manage to create an atmosphere - albeit rather romanticised - of ye olden times. From the first to the last, the album always draws me into another, nobler time. I'd be tempted to give it 5 stars purely for my enjoyment, but I would question to what extent it is truly "progressive" music or whether it is largely rather simple, lightweight tunes, deftly arranged, carefully orchestrated and superbly produced. And despite other comments, the production was excellent - but the pressing you are listening to may not be!
