DVD Review: Procol Harum: In Concert with the Danish National Concert Orchestra & Choir: Procol Harum: Movies & TV
Product Description
Procol Harum are one of the all-time great British rock groups. Having hit the heights with their first release “A Whiter Shade Of Pale”, a UK No.1 in 1967, they have sustained a recording and performing career that stretches over 40 years. This DVD was filmed over two spectacular concerts held in the grounds of Ledreborg Castle in Denmark in August 2006. The band was accompanied throughout by the Danish National Concert Orchestra and Choir and these epic songs really benefit from the full symphonic arrangements they receive. Also included are six previously unreleased live tracks from a 1974 Danish TV special as a bonus feature.

What can be said to enhance the legendary music of Procol Harum? My salute and praises can be read on my review of the Union Chapel DVD.
What brings to mind is this music can never define a period of history or culture for Procol is eternally transcendent and the scope of work is always fresh and speaks to the current times. If only those who have never ventured within the vastness of greatness will but sip the wine, alas to be drunk for ever.
Again, a quality offering from Brooker and company amongst cellos, violins and string sections in 2006 as once ventured in 1972 with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Procol Harum Live: In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra
Yes indeed friends, This is one gigantic magical beast that roams the planet undiscovered and swallowed into the eternal.
Nicely done Boys! I await the next chapter……..
