With tracks like “Mozart 40,” “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,” and “Fantasia,” “The Mozart Album” highlights Sky’s ability to breathe new life into classical masterpieces while staying true to the essence of Mozart’s original compositions. The album received positive reviews from critics and fans alike, praising Sky’s musicianship and their ability to bridge the gap between rock and classical music genres.
The Mozart Album is a testament to the enduring appeal and versatility of Mozart’s music, as well as Sky’s innovative approach to reinterpreting classical works for a contemporary audience.
SKY is a British-Australian classic rock band formed in London in 1978 by classic guitarist John Williams (not to be confused with the American movie score composer of the same name), keyboarder Francis Monkman (of Curved Air fame), guitarist Kevin Peek, bassist Herbie Flowers and drummer Tristan Fry.
Their unique style combined with the virtuosity of the individual members and easy accessibility of the compositions quickly gained them a huge and steady fan base. The absolute highlight of this era was a concert in Westminster Abbey in February 1981 (in fact the first ever rock concert there) which was video taped by BBC.
