Song of Scheherazade by Renaissance - If you haven't heard it, it's a WONDERFUL test of your system! Should be a wide, deep soundstage with killer dynamics and absolutely no clipping on the loudest parts. If your system can't separate out the individual lines (many playing simultaneously), then something's wrong. This is a "symphonic" presentation with a full orchestra, chorus, and "band" all playing simultaneously. Themes are opened, explored, and then returned to (sometimes juxtaposed with other themes). Really, if you haven't heard this one, hie thyselves to Amazon! Do NOT buy a cheap MP3 download! Full CD quality ONLY, please. Better half & I also enjoyed listening to the Pentangle's "Basket of Light" this evening. Another offering that will test the resolution of your system! Highly recommended too. Cheers - Boomzilla I am a big fan of Annie Haslam and saw them a couple years ago where they played Scheherazade and Turn of the Cards in their entirety. Annie can still hit that 5 octave range.

Scheherezade and Turn of the Cards were remastered in 2012. Here is a song from Turn of the Cards and at the 5 minute mark you will hear Annie hit that very high register. Gave me chills in '74 and still packs a punch today. Definitely get the remastered works. ;D

Speaking of Renaissance, I saw them at Red Rocks in 1977. Stunning concert.

10.10.12 Excellent. Great band I agree, and the new arrangements on this reuinion disk make some old favorites sound like new songs.
