Three of their best songs ever on only their second album,
Par Un client
Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : Ashes Are Burning (CD)
Half of the half-dozen songs on Renaissance's second album from 1972 are prime examples of the group's progressive (nee classical) rock sound. The best proof of this is that "Can You Understand?", "Carpet of the Sun" and "Ashes Are Burning" are also performed on the 1976 "Live from Carnegie Hall" album. The title track is undoubtedly the ultimate Renaissance encore piece. Indeed, it serves as the final track on not only that pair of albums but also the two volume "Tales of 1001 Nights" set, where it is moved from its contemporary pieces on the first volume to the last track on the second. "Ashes Are Burning" is the perfect encore piece because it serves so well as an extended showcase for solos by the group's members. In contrast, "Can You Understand?" has always been the ideal opening song for a Renaissance album, with its driving piano melody that spurns the rest of the band to match it as the song progresses. Yet within this 10 minute epic we are also treated to Annie Halsam singing accompanied only by acoustic guitar, before the song again builds upon a larger them appropriated from a Russian classical composer. "Carpet of the Sun" remains the group's best known "single," not only because it is one of the few songs short enough to be given airplay, but also because Annie Halsam's vocals with that dazzling trill continues to delight. More than any other singer of her time, Halsam's singing voice was an instrument integral to the composition and performance of each song, which is why she is as effective singing a series of la's as she is singing Betty Thatcher's lyrics. Michael Dunford wrote the music for all but one of the songs on this album, which marked his official return to the group. Jim McCarty did the music for the remaining track ("On the Frontier) while Richard Hewson wrote and conducted the orchestral arrangements that became a defining element of Renaissance's work. In retrospect, what is most impressive about "Ashes Are Burning" is how quickly the group found its voice after the release of their first album, "Prologue." For the next six years things would only be getting better with many considering their next effort, "Turn of the Cards" to be their best album.
