THIS IS A MUST HEAR!!
Procol Harum In Concert with the Danish National
Orchestra and Choir performing A Whiter Shade of Pale
My Absolute Current Favourite!!
I have heard the Procul Harum. Did you like the epic "In Held Twas I"?

Listening tonight to Hyperion Vaughn Williams and Howells choral music.Playing it direct connection bypassing the line stage. What a fantastic recording and to hear it like that makes me want to deliver pizzas to get a passive.
Also just got Christy Moore's "Voyage" on vinyl.Very low sound floor,incredible bass and mid range texture.Finding old records of guys you have only heard on CD is a lot of fun.

Hi Emorrisiv,The Version of Whiter Shade of Pale I'm talking about was recorded in late 2006 and released on CD in 2008 it does not have "In Held Twas I" on the album but it is just so dramatic you have to hear it!!!

Bigpond, thanks for the correction. I must be thinking of the old live recording they did with full orchestra.
Which I have to say had moments of great drama and most certainly was very dynamic.
