Ekseption - Trinity (Expanded Edition / Remastered 2023) (1973) [Hi-Res]

Ekseption, a Dutch progressive rock band, achieved remarkable success in blending classical music with rock, particularly noted for their chart-topping singles and successful concept albums in Holland. Their unique style, which combined symphonic rock with classical compositions, set them apart in the progressive rock scene, rivaling contemporaries like The Nice and early Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Alongside Focus, they were one of the top progressive rock bands in the Dutch-speaking world.

Ekseption's music can be an acquired taste due to its distinctive mix of symphonic rock and classical influences. However, their album "Trinity" represents a pinnacle of their artistry, striking a perfect balance between classical arrangements and original themes. Notable tracks like "The Peruvian Flute," "Improvisations," and their rendition of Bach's "Toccata and Fugue" exemplify this successful fusion and showcase the band's ability to innovate within their genre.
