5 stars famous instrumental disc of the progressive band Camel, which it is centered in musically transcribing atmospheres and sensations that the personages and the situations of the story of Paul Gallico transmit to them, sharing its emotional impressions with the listener. In the passage of this story, produced by David Hitchcock, we are knowing the scenes and characters, molded sonorous with the instrumental talent of the group, in special the interaction between Andy Latimer and Peter Bardens, that create passages of great atmospheric beauty and remarkable sensitive tact, fundamentally the moments of protagonism of the wind instruments and keyboards, increased the pieces by praiseworthy orquestales adjustments of David Bedford. The story of Gallico and the disc of Camel develop the history of Rhayader in the context of World War II, a solitary man who lives in a located light in the coast of Essex, feared because of the prejudices of its neighbors. Rhayader will help to ganso wounded with the aid of a called girl Fritha, who had found to the bird in a beach near the solitary residence. While the bird is recovering, the happiness between the terceto is constant. When ganso is cured totally, this one will leave the side of Rhayader, like the girl, returning again the solitude to the life of Rhayader. Later, Rhayader will pass away fighting by its town in the confrontation of Dunkirk, before the presence of ganso returned, "the Princesse Perdue". Camel knows to unfold and to mix different emotions with their musical exhibition, like sadness, fear, happiness, incomunicación or joy, in a Lp that grows with the each new listening, specially beautiful pieces like "Rhayader", "Friendship", "Migration", "Rhayader alone", "Fritha Alone" or stirring "the Princesse Perdue".
