KeyDragon - Jonquils & Daffodils
author: Department of Virtuosity (Poland)
Aforesaid flower-titled album is the second item in Ron Langford's solo discography. I observed that many musicians shelve their music differing from what they ususally compose and play, and I think that it is a fundamental fault. Some of them are afraid of negative ractions from their orthodox fans, and, as a result, they are constrained and locked in one genre. Let's look at Alex Skolnick who can play thrash metal and jazz, then Marcus Rosen who plays heavy metal and jazz/fusion, Vitalij Kuprij who is a classical pianist and progressive neoclassical keyboard hotshot. The examples can be multiplied, but the fact is Ron can also play gothic metal and classical music with no prejudices to other genres.
"Jonquils & Daffodils" is its best proof. The music is bit mysterious, bit romantic and multi-coloured and, as always, classicaly inspired. Thus, we have got Georg Friedrich Handel's "Saraband" and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Allegro in B flat Major", but also an American movie and TV composer - Henry Mancini's Pink Panther" and a Hungarian romanticist - Stephen Heller's "An Old Romance". This item, as a continuation of the debut, proves his stature as a classical musician who doesn't confine his abilities, but explores his talents thoroughly. His unusual skills are undisputed indeed. To recap my revelations, I admit that I listened to "Jonquils & Daffodils" considerately.
