http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2491 I have relisten to the majestic song Mourner's Rhapsody, really make you have in tears, specially if you listen at 2:00 am. The vocals harmonies of Niemen is so powerful and sorrow- ish at the same time, what wonderful music have done this great musician. I love the interplay between the guitar and organ. I think that is time to the younger generation of prog fans should discover the sheer musical genius of one of the best music man in Poland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb_gvgiiy1Y -------------  |

I love him! He was the most powerful singer in Poland. Here's a very nice video for much better (IMO) Polish version of Mourning Rhapsody (Bema pamięci rapsod żałobny): BTW, here's my http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54837 - Czeslaw Niemen Appreciation Thread with some other videos too. It's a real shame he died in 2004...  ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

I'm the one who added him here, so definitely I'm interested. His voice is so rich in textures and emotion, and the guy had a long and impressive cast of supporting artists he played with; I don't think he gets the credit he deserves in the pantheon of great musicians and vocalists.
