Butterfly Ball & the Grasshopper's Feast

Butterfly Ball & the Grasshopper's Feast

2009 digitally remastered edition of this lost '70s concept album including bonus material. This beautiful recording was first released with the original publication of the best selling book, The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast and is not to be confused with the Roger Glover album of the same title. The appeal of the well known book is expanded further by this interpretation, which places the entire text in a musical setting by composers Rod Edwards and Roger Hand previously of legendary UK psychedelic pop bands The Picadilly Line and Edwards Hand. Rod Edwards was also one third of the UK 70s folk Rock band Jade. Some of the poems are sung, with haunting melodies and fascinating sounds; while the others are effortlessly and incomparably narrated by Judi Dench and the late Michael Hordern, within a sympathetic, descriptive, orchestral tapestry.
