Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) I'm not particularly into tribute albums, but 1st, it's Keith Emerson, the unparalleled genius of art rock, and 2nd, Thierry Eliez does a terrific job here. He picked most of my favorite Emerson tracks of the early years, and arranged them wonderfully. The real killer is the closing track of the album, of course. The "Chorale" of the "Five Briges Suite" has always been one of my most played "Nice" tracks, and finally it gets its due attention in an extended and brilliantly performed version. Favorite track: Suite N°3 Chorale - Chorale 3rd Bridge, Extract Piano Concerto N°1 3rd Movement, Aquatarkus Finale.

John Woodward This is a remarkable album. The great talent of Thierry Eliez underlines Keith Emersons composing and especiaĺly the jazz influences in his music. For example the arrangement of the title song of Trilogy is excellent with the wonderful jazz vocals by Ceilin Poggi.

about

Le pianiste de jazz Thierry Eliez restaure l'essence des oeuvres originelles de Keith Emerson, compositeur du trio mythique ELP, en les déshabillant des textures électriques propres aux années 70 dont Emerson était l'une des grandes figures.
Revêtues de cordes et voix, les compositions, d'une grande richesse, prennent, sous les doigts fr Thierry Eliez, une dimension concertante aussi vertigineuse que sensible, affirmant Keith Emerson parmi les compositeurs anglais les plus emblématiques du 20ème siècle.

The brillant French pianist Thierry Eliez restores the essence of the original works of Keith Emerson, composer of the mythical ELP trio, by stripping them of the electric textures typical of the seventies, of which Emerson was one of the greatest figures.
Enriched with strings and voices, the compositions, of considerable richness, take on, under Thierry Eliez's fingers, a concertante dimension that is a dizzying as it sensitive, affirming Keith Emerson as one of the most emblematic english composers of the 20th century.
