In the vein of The Enid, the instrumental only release creators also channel some of the film soundtracks from the last 4 decades of the 20th century (probably because they are often an iteration of 19th century music). But cleverly, playfully and without stopping. The melody is the king and it must go on. Of course, there's the elephant in the room and the album's title - the fine art being classical music and that's my cryptonite. There are more examples of this phenomen, even here on ProgA (the one that comes to my mind immediately is Hamburger concerto by Focus, their neighbors to the west). This one does the concept very enjoyably. The album is sadly quite short, even the tracks (except Debussy's inspired 1st) do not exceed the 5 minute mark. There's even a children song about a chicken with 90 seconds of spoken only word, as Deutsch is not one of the languages I speak, I can only guess by googling it. All in all, this album is the definition of 3 stars - good, but non-essential. Not much in common with their two 70s albums, but striking different chords altogether.
