We left 'Ryszard Kramarski' with the excellent 'Mr Scrooge' released a little over a year ago and it is the turn of 'Kay & Gerda' from see the day. In the meantime a new 'Millenium' album has been released and if you are a fan of subtle and quiet progressive rock, you are in the right place because this new opus is full of poetry and delicacy that resemble to groups like 'Mostly Autumn' or 'Fleesh'.
The album declines in two versions with two different singers, first of all, honor to the ladies, the talented 'Karolina Leszko' who enchants us once again throughout this first part, the second being devolved to sieur 'Dawid Lewandowski', young singer of the group 'Fizbers' who gives a second interpretation just as remarkable as the first, it is up to you to test both and choose the one that you prefer. The album opens with the magnificent 'The Shards Of Glass' which takes us directly onto a small cloud in a delicate and relaxing atmosphere with 'Floydian' keyboard layers and a melody that rocks us and never leaves us, then, 'Gerda's Song' continues in this harmonious atmosphere which, for my part, triggered me on several occasions this small characteristic thrill of an intense happiness with the version of Karolina. As for 'Garden Of Oblivion', it's still a soft and limpid composition reminiscent of 'Mostly Autumn', then, 'The Crow and The Castle', half instrumental adds sublime vocalizations of Karolina and ends on a remarkable solo guitar, and 'Little Robber Girl' is certainly the most energetic track with a very nice passage mixing in a beautiful way the vocals of Karolina and an acoustic guitar. The first part ends with, first of all, a melancholy 'Long Way North' with yet another magnificent catchy melody then with 'Snow Queen Palace' which takes us one last time on a wonderful journey filled with emotion and Karolina, in end of title, hands the baton beautifully to 'Dawid Lewandowski'.
In summary, with this latest album, 'Ryszard Kramarski' continues to enchant us with endearing and delicate melodies that are sublimated by two remarkable performers and 'Kay & Gerda' should undoubtedly appeal to all fans of an harmonious and sensitive progressive in the line of formation like' Mostly Autumn '... | |
