Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Disco clásico.......2004-02-24

Con este disco, Steve Hackett se decidió por fin a hacer lo que tanto tiempo había estado apuntando: un disco completo de corte clásico que podría formar parte del repertorio de Andrés Segovia. El disco es muy bueno, bajo estos parámetros si no fuera por la tendencia de Hackett al plagio. En este caso, Horizons (ya famosa por Foxtrot) no es sino una recreación del primer movimiento de una suite para violoncello de Bach. Lo mismo le ha ocurrido, en el pasado, con otros temas que, en realidad, son cuasi-plagios de temas de Carl Orff o Erik Satie. Nada que objetar a que haga versiones de los clásicos, pero, por favor, que no intente hacerlos pasar como temas propios.

5 out of 5 stars Music For A Sunday Afternoon.......2002-09-24

Or while badly in need of relaxation during evening rush hour. This one really shows the musical diversity of Steve Hackett, revealing the breadth of his talent as a composer and a performer. He is the simply the best guitarist in recorded history, and this album demonstrates the nylon classical side of his incredible range.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent........2002-04-30

Superb acoustical work from the heart and soul of an extraordinary musician. This would not surprise any Genesis or Hackett fan, since he was one of the musical brains of that group during its best era, around the seventies.
Every early Genesis fans would love Hackett solo works, for he followed the proggresive path the band opened since ¨Selling England by the Pound¨
This imported edition has CD-ROM capabilities with a bunch of information and several mp3 tracks. Don't miss it!

5 out of 5 stars Hackett's best album ever.......2001-09-22

Guitarrist Stever Hackett, after he left Genesis in mid-1977 has left a very rich solo musical legacy, which continues to grow every year. Within his works, three classical guitar albums stand out: this one, "Momentum" and "There are many sides to the night." The two first were recorded in studio, and the latter was recorded live. But "Bay of Kings" has been, in my opinion, Hackett's most incredible musical accomplishment so far, including both his works done using electric guitar and classical guitar.

You'll be delighted to discover in the album a new rendering of the beautiful 1972 Genesis song (composed by Hackett) "Horizons," but it's only part of a grandieuse masterpiece made up of 15 compositions of a beauty that takes time to find elsewhere. If you have a chance to listen to "Kim" or "Blacklight" you'll be able to easily understand what I mean.

Note: the original release of the album, in 1983, included only the first twelve songs. This version added three more tracks to complement an already perfect work.

4 out of 5 stars Classical Guitar from a Versatile Player.......2001-06-21

This one is strictly classical guitar. If you like Hackett's harder and more progressive music only, this is not for you. But if you appreciate original compositions for classical guitar played by a master at his instrument, this is it.

Hackett proves once again that he is far from one (or even two) dimensional. There are Many Sides to Hackett and he proves it once again with Bay of Kings.

For a very nice companion CD to make this a 2fer, also get Momentum. I have them both and they are really nice to play as one long set.
