Another Kind of Magic: Queen Symphonic Spectacular was the hit event at the Estonian Summer Festival in 2000. It featured stars from the West End stage, Dean Collinson(Notre Dame, Whistle Down The Wind), Paulette Ivory (The Lion King, West Side Story), Sally Ann Triplett Cats, Grease) and James Graeme (Whistle Down The Wind, Phantom of The Opera), the Swedish band Elektramania and a 3 girl rock group Elaktravox. The symphonic accompanyment was provided by the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra and chorus conducted by Martin Yates. The concert continued on to play three sell out performances in Sweden. In the summer of this year, the concert with the same forces, are embarking on an extended tour across Europe starting at the Chester Music Festival. This stunning 2 CD set with the same original musicians and singers contains the complete program from the concert. Recorded in Estonia and at the world famous Abbey Road Studios in London. No introduction is required to the music of Queen over the past 3 decades. From the groundbreaking work of Bohemian Rhapsody through to the film soundtrack work represented in Highlander and Flash Gordon and numerous defining albums along the way, Queen rightly became recognized as one of the most famous and innovative groups and songwriters of their era. With the tragic death of Freddie Mercury the progression of the music from these innovative and brilliant composers collaborations came to an end. This Symphonic tribute to the work of Queen retains all the glory of those songs set against a symphonic background that it sympathetic to the last moving operatic performances given by Freddie Mercury before his tragic death from Aids. tracklist
