PFM launched a 2-CD album that was supported by a symphonic orchestra, what else is new?

The first CD is a collection of exquisite pieces of Classical Music from composers such as Mozart, Dvorak, and Verdi, the mixture of this orchestral music with the well-played rock arrangements by PFM was very interesting: it was not very similar to the classic records of the band, but definitely, it is very intelligent material and an amazing chapter of their catalog. About the second CD, well, I'd rather listen to the first one and that would make this a much better album; some of the most classic songs from the earlier albums of PFM were played here with very nice symphonic arrangements, but for my taste this was unnecessary: the re-recordings of old songs are not my cup of tea because I consider it takes off the originality and the uniqueness of the record. The interpretations are not bad, it's just that I don't see the point in doing new versions of songs that were much better in their original form.

SONG RATING: Il flauto magico, 5 Danza Macabra, 5 Danza Slava N. 1, 4 Sinfonia N. 5 IV Adagietto, 4 Romeo e Giuglieta, 5 La grande pasqua Russa, 4 Nabucco, 4 La luna nuova, 4 The puzzle, 3 Dove... quando? 4 Maestro della voce, 3 Impressioni di settembre, 4 Suite italiana (È festa), 4 Gugliemo Tell, 4
