^ Thanks, dude. You've provided a plenty of interesting recommendations. I've just checked out the first video/song and figured my mom might like it, although, I have to say, she felt a bit annoyed the first time she heard Jacqui McShee's high, gentle, and clear voice on Pentangle's "Reflection" (the title track). 

Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions. You've been very helpful.

By the way, one more thing I forgot to mention: she was a bit enthralled with Derek Shulman's voice on "Aspirations". !!

Derek Shulman doesn't sing on "Aspirations": It's Kerry Minnear.

I second the Crime of the Century recommendation.

^ [facepalm] ... I'm a loser. Yes, right, Minnear. She liked his voice.

La Locanda delle Fatte's Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Piu is also a very accessible symphonic album, and great, assuming that she doesn't mind the vocals in italian.
What about Marillion's Misplaced Childhood?

^ Maybe only "Vultures Fly High" would work 'cause I'm not sure if my mom is into lengthy, adventurous, listening-challenging music. And also ...

... which means she might not be into Haslam's voice either. Beats me.

Good call, though.

I think it was DSOM solely that got me into prog but Echoes, Shadow of the Heirophant, Again and Comfortably Numb have got mates into prog.

^ Very rock-oriented, but I can pick something out, like "The Great Gig in the Sky".

Hmmmmm,

I'd say maybe Aqualung, In the Court of the Crimson King, Masque.

Probably either Selling England by the Pound, or Gentle Giants self titled.
