Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Good art music from pre-new age period.......2006-10-12

Fuhrs & Fruhling is a German duo, a classical guitarist teamed up with a synthesizer player, both well-versed in classical phrasing and composition with a heavy medieval & renaissance influence. The synth player favors a string-like sound instead of say, Wakeman's or Keith Emerson's aggessive and cutting tones, so it blends in very well with the classic guitar,creating a smooth backdrop for it and coming up front naturally when soloing with the Moog. (of course, centuries ago it was not uncommon to pair up a lute with a harpsichord, these guys are the modern-day equivalent)
The title song is a lush nature hymn, with forest/birdsong evocations ,much as Beethoven's 7th calls out for the outdoors. Dance of the Leaves feels like an instrumental Renaissance composition, the guitar providing arpeggios and the synth doing exotic melodics, again deep forest-evoking.
Along with Oregon this is one of New-Age's forerunners, however it is deeply classicaly influenced and being on the lesser side of rock, I cannot call it prog-rock, or even art-rock.
If you still lose focus upon hearing "From the Beginning" by ELP , you think it was one of the 20th century's masterpieces ,(and I certainly do, rating it at the near top of ALL art-music, ) you think there's nothing like a Moog teamed up to a Ramirez guitar, then do, do get this record.

PD Mr.Anthony Phillips has a lot to learn about composition from these guys, he's just a wanna-bee.
