Album Description

Originally released in 1998, the new SPV Super Value edition of Sky Of Avalon has been remastered by Uli Jon Roth and contains a bonus video track and an all new booklet with rare photos and liner notes by Uli John Roth.

Uli Jon Roth is without doubt one of the most eminent and influential guitarists of the international music scene. Be it as a long-time member with the Scorpions, founder and mastermind of his own band Electric Sun or as a solo artist, whose brilliant symphonic rock concept Sky Of Avalon caused a stir with its exciting melange of classical music and rock: the musician from Hanover has already had a lasting influence on the music world.

In 1993 Roth made a name for himself in the classic crossover sector as the musical director of an extremely successful production called `Symphonic Rock For Europe', which was broadcast by the German TV channel WDR. As part of the production, his first complete symphony Europa Ex Favilla was performed by almost one hundred artists from the Brussels Symphonic Orchestra, together with a large choir and a rock band. The theme was taken up again in 1995, when Roth's Puccini treatment Bridge To Heaven - performed by vocalist Klaus Meine with Roth on guitar - was celebrated during the great José Carreras Christmas Gala in Leipzig. Since leaving the Scorpions, Roth repeatedly became the talking point in the rock genre. In 1991 U.J. Roth, undisputedly Thee German authority when it comes to authentic rock interpretations, was asked to take on the musical direction of the WDR TV special A Different Side Of Jimi Hendrix. The result was a moving TV spectacle, with Roth alongside Jack Bruce (Cream), Simon Philips (Toto, The Who, Bob Dylan among others), Jule Neigel, Randy Hansen, Zeno and Peter Bursch performing a fascinating repertoire of Hendrix' compositions, which was praised on an international level. Roth dedicated the concert to Monika Dannemann, Jimi Hendrix' last girlfriend and later Roth's partner for over twenty years before her tragic death in 1996.

BUY THIS CD NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-08-11

This is one of the greatest CDs ever. Uli blends Mozart and Jimi Hendrix into one. This is a classical CD with a metal edge, and quite simply the most beautiful piece of music written in the last 100 years. If you like both classical and rock, and want to have your mind blown, BUY THIS CD NOW! You will not regret it.

Lyricism,expression and virtuosity.......2000-07-13

Uli (Ulrich Roth), is a guitarist....with high level of virtuosity... He use the power of his guitar of 7 strings and additional frets... to obtain notes unusual in the guitar and mixed with the violins of the keyboards give us a sonority that evokes the big composers of the period classic mixed with the power solos that let show us the direct influence of Jimi Hendix.
