Robert John Godfrey
The Art Of Melody (Romantic Piano Music Book 1)
Album UK 2013 on Operation Seraphim label
Classical (Neo-Classical)
"The Art of Melody is the first in a series of solo piano albums to be produced by composer and pianist Robert John Godfrey of cult symphonic rock band The Enid. The art of melody, an album of romantic piano music recorded in response to repeated requests from Enid fans, showcases the work of a man described on the BBC Radio One by the legendary Tommy Vance as "one of the greatest composers great britain has ever produced”. Godfrey’s albums with The Enid have nearly always contained a ‘Robert John Godfrey’s corner’ – a track which is romantic, powerful and orchestral in conception. The tone of the art of melody, whilst being far from sentimental, is often bitter sweet, sad and joyful, melodic and occasionally violent. From the large scale virtuoso pieces such as, Cogenhoe Gallivant, to the gentler Mirror of Love – the album showcases Godfrey’s talents beautifully." [recording details] Recorded at The Lodge Recording Studio, Northampton, 2011 - 2013. Tracks 6 and 7 recorded at Symphony Hall, Birmingham. © Operation Seraphim 2013 ℗ Enidsongs 2013 Made in England
