Bo Hansson • Lord Of The Rings (Sagan Om Ringen)




Uno sin pensarlo supondría que musicalizar la saga del "Señor de los anillos" es algo que fue producido en este siglo, a raíz de la filmación de la película homónima. Pues no es así, la wiki nos cuenta al respecto:
Bo Hansson (n. Gotemburgo, 10 de abril de 1943 - m. Estocolmo, 23 de abril de 2010), también conocido como Bosse Hansson, fue un músico y compositor sueco de rock progresivo, cuyo instrumento habitual era el teclado electrónico. Su realización más notable fueron cuatro álbumes conceptuales instrumentales lanzados en los años 1970.
Sagan om Ringen fue lanzado por Silence Records (el primer sello de grabación independiente de Suecia, establecido por el mismo Anders Lind) en otoño de 1970 y se convirtió en un gran éxito. Varias copias empezaron a filtrarse hacia Gran Bretaña, donde llamó la atención de Tony Stratton-Smith, que quedó tan impresionado que reeditó la grabación como Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings con su propio sello Charisma Records en octubre de 1972, convirtiéndose en el único LP de Bo Hansson en alcanzar el top 40 del Reino Unido, así como el número 154 en el Billboard 200, y unas ventas acreditadas de un disco de oro en el Reino Unido y en Australia.

  1. Hi!

    Thanx for this one. A "new" artist = "new hears here. Interesting "concept" music. Rated 4 & 1/2 out of 5 stars @ All Music. Wonder if Stephen Colbert ("Late Night" TV host & HUGE "Lord Of The Ring" fan) knows about this (?)

    Cheers!
    Ciao! For now.
