After Crying - AC XXV - Anniversary Concert (2CD) (2013) CD-Rip

„After Crying is one of the most exciting group of the international music scene. After many concerts around the world, they have celebrated their 25th birthday and the release of their 14th album with a special anniversary concert in the Palace of Arts in Budapest. The ensemble has been consciously forming its values since the beginning, regarding the greatest figures of European culture as their role models. The composers of After Crying have always sought to create music that, by using today's common musical idiom, is understood by many, yet is still able to convey profound message on serious subjects at the highest artistic standard. This unique contemporary classical music addresses both the audiences of its own age and eternity.”Böszörményi Gergely

The 1st CD contains the live version of the band’s latest studio album: Creatura. This was the first and official LIVE INTRODUCTION of this album, in its full length. At the very prestigious Bela Bartok National Concert Hall the full-house audience – 1300 people – enjoyed the good sound and the spectacular show. Listening to this CD now you can have (almost) the same musical experience in more than 70 minutes.

The 2nd CD and the DVD has the same musical material: compositions from the very beginning until today featuring a real SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. After Crying have always been using classical instruments, chamber orschestras and/or huge symphonic orchestra as natural part of their compositions and sound. The members of the band are classicaly trained and educated musicians: music teachers, professors, composers, musicians in symphonic orchestras and eraly-music ensembles. At the same time they all love ROCK’N’ROLL (meaning progressive rock & symphonic rock) so they easily combine the sound of modern electric instruments with the traditional classical instrumentation.
This is what we really call: SYMPHONIC PROG-ROCK!!!
Great experience: SOUND and VISION!
