27-AMS 338 CD
“Following the publication, in just five years, of three records that have consecrated Ellesmere among the leading names in modern symphonic prog, the band led by multi-instrumentalist Roberto Vitelli knocks again on the door of progressive rock fans with a live double album recorded in 2019.
At the time "Wyrd", Ellesmere's third studio album, had not yet been released, and in fact "Livesmere" almost entirely gives live versions of the group’s first two discs, "Les Châteaux de la Loire" and "Ellesmere II / From Sea and Beyond", comparing the two main elements of the group: the calm, pastoral, acoustic and folk one of the debut album and the more energetic and rock one of the following work, whose long and articulated songs flow perfectly, played by the excellent musicians who accompany Roberto Vitelli in this musical journey of his.
To embellish the whole we also find two unreleased songs, "Rain To Come" and "Nightfall", the latter further enhanced by the presence of John Hackett - brother of Steve Hackett - on the flute.”
