SUMMONER'S TALES...
"In a rock band you are often only working with three or four primary colors; with a symphony orchestra you are given an entire palette, a full spectrum of light and shade, nuance, dynamic contrast, and this richness is reflected in the evolution of the songs into orchestral pieces. Dressing the songs in these new orchestral clothes has given them a freshness, breathed new life into them, subtly altered the meaning and emotional valance of songs that may have been written 30 years ago. It is a royal gift for a songwriter."
