Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Toccata (Official Audio)

Visit our Online Store: elp.tmstor.es/
Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer helped define and set new standards throughout one of the most ambitious and experimental periods in 20th-Century popular music. Drawn from The Nice, King Crimson, and Atomic Rooster respectively, they were hailed as progressive rock’s first supergroup. Combining driving dynamics, intricate arrangements, and virtuosic skill, between 1970 and 1978, ELP released seven studio recordings and three live albums. Such was their popularity on both sides of the Atlantic that their records repeatedly achieved Platinum status sales.
Titles such as Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery created distinctive worlds that incorporated soaring themes, other-worldly timbres, yearning ballads, humorous pastiche and dramatic long-form conceptual works. While they adapted pieces by classical composers as stylistically varied as Bartok, Mussorgsky, Copland, Ginastera and Rodrigo, ELP sounded like nobody else but themselves.
The trio performed live one final time at London’s High Voltage Festival in July 2010 just weeks short of their debut gig 40th anniversary.
Although Keith Emerson and Greg Lake both sadly passed away in 2016, interest in ELP continues to grow, and Carl Palmer’s own band regularly performs a setlist dedicated to the unique music he helped create. ELP's music continues to find new audiences more than 50 years from their beginning, a striking testament to the group's irrepressible blend of energy, eclecticism, and visceral excitement.

I bought this album on vinyl in the late 1970’s. 44 years later my son keeps and listens to this exact same copy. It’s become a family heirloom!

[@santiagosanchezblanco9430]

Good relic.Too I have The album Tarkus on Vinyl.Our jewels.

[@scabbycatcat4202]

Ha ! I have a 40 year old cassette tape ( which everyone informed me would only last about 10 yrs ) and it still plays perfectly. Also it has withstood extremes of cold and hot weather because for years it was kept in the car.

[@hhairball9]

I payed $2.99 for my album at Licorice Pizza in 1974, brand new!

[@pm9928]

You are a good father for teaching your son the value in making an effort to listen at length and with an open mind... also your son has good taste... that phrase as 4:54 obsessed me for ages I learned today Keith Emerson asked Ginestera if it was ok for him to cover his work (piano concerto 1) and Emerson took the first cut to Ginastera in Switzerland where the Argentinian was living at the time and although they didn't speak the same language Ginestera through his wife Keith asked what he thought and Ginastera said "Diabolical!!!" Then added "This!... is how my music should be played!"

[@jimschutz]

@@pm9928 Thanks so much for your kind words and for the backstory about how this music made it on to the album! Very interesting!

[@patrickgodsil1115]

One of the most killer album covers created by Swiss artist Hans Rudi Giger.

[@kdorman1085]

The pure genius of ELP and the absolute genius of HR Giger that is his wife Mia on the inside cover his work is mind blowing just like ELP live

[@villain68]

This song!! What a ride!! It don't get no better than this!!

[@theDDude]

I listened to this while watching the new eruption in Iceland. Perfect.

[@robertochiang8057]

Great!! I still remember me, playing aloud this one while at college and my mother shouting : "Turn it down! Don't you know any nice songs?" (Zappa stile). I bought the L.P. on vacations at Argentina (1974).

[@danielbagala8606]

I am always fascinated by the disturbing atmosphere that runs through this masterpiece by Ginastera, brilliantly interpreted by ELP. I must have heard it like 500 times already and I still can't get enough of it. And the cover by HR Giger is another gem that is impossible to ignore.

[@Psychofrog395]

One of another’s masterpieces albums!👏👍❤️❤️🇬🇧

[@muffinman4353]

Saw the ''Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends" tour in the seventies.....Third row from the stage. Blew my mind.

[@achiocconi]

Simply a Master Piece!!

[@mattwaters6987]

Absolutely right!

[@nickbarton3191]

A startlingly inventive interpretation of the piano concerto by Alberto Ginastera. Love it especially the percussion activated synth.

[@damirhlobik6488]

an excellent introduction to ELP for someone who has never listened to them 😊

[@libradragon]

"Welcome back, my friend, to the show that never ends." This album is one to let play us. I have my original on vinyl from 1974. Only played it three times; once to clear, 2nd to record it and 3rd to play REALLY LOUD.

[@hammer-r]

Prog Rock at its finest.

[@DscTambuwun]

Couse of it,i like all of their albums.

[@KOSMICKEN09]

This blew my mind in junior high

[@darkaether2798]

Sometimes described as scary, it’s easy to see why! Another epic piece.

[@josedeoliveiralima5777]

No mesmo nível de Umaguma...

[@APlagueOfButterflies]

I just found out today this was the theme song for the TV program Creature Double Feature out of WLVI channel 56 Boston.

[@barbaraanderson5437]

Still going strong! Look at us all❤

[@user-pj2wr4mu7w]

To arouse interst to such kind of music in my 5 year son I told him that this piece discribes the heffalumps running. And he has literally loved this musics, and many times asked me to play it again.

[@Oregontrailblazin]

Why does this song calm my soul ?

[@juanandrestorres5944]

Es música clásica del maestro argentino ginastera....es un malambo....pasado a música clásica y pasado a sintetizador !!...saludos desde Buenos Aires.....

[@pm9928]

I was today years old when I learned Keith Emerson asked Ginestera if it was ok for him to cover his work (piano concerto 1) and Emerson took the first cut to Ginastera in Switzerland where the Argentinian was living at the time and although they didn't speak the same language Ginestera through his wife Keith asked what he thought and Ginastera said "Diabolical!!!"

[@alfredoscaiola8848]

Brain Salad Surgery. Album Capolavoro. Bellissima anche la copertina del disco dell'artista Svizzero H.R. Giger ( Il mio artista preferito).👍😉

[@jamesmorgan5671]

The Creature Double Feature song!

[@thewiifan9151]

I'm actually amazed how really they influenced for Kōji Koundō and Nobou Uematsu. If you listen to Mario, Zelda or Final Fantasy soundtracks you can hear similarities of this song.

[@douglasrose4188]

Giger was my favorite artist. Emerson lake and palmer was an awesome band and this pice was what got me hooked. I have brain salad surgery as wall paper on my phone.

[@bryanwhitehouse4141]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@user-ix2nn5xo2g]

Great album one of my first in the 1970's

[@ThatsMrPencilneck2U]

When introducing somebody to ELP, I always suggest easing people into it, first have them listen to "Lucky Man," followed by "From the Beginning," and then add Toccata is the group demonstrating that they can handle a really hard Classical piece.

[@kleberveridianogoncalvesde6293]

Wonderful !!!

[@progressivevalen]

Ginastera 🇦🇷🩵

[@WilliamSmith-yp9hb]

Ch. 56’s Creature Double Feature brought me here

[@francisacke6566]

Brilliant !

[@user-cj3bc8rc5k]

SOMETHING ELSE ??!!!!

[@ronalddarnell9677]

I saw this album cover on double Jeopardy and nobody knew who it was or what album except Alex !

[@joserojas-fd7mh]

Adaptación de " Toccata" de Alberto Ginastera. Orgullo argentino.

[@ericjarry7663]

We’re going to give you some Brain Salad Surgery!

[@Matt-mo8sl]

What a way to kick off Creature Double Feature on WLVI Channel 56 as a kid.

[@mujinamiti]

やっぱり凄い。 ドラマ性を廃し、音だけの迫力・可能性を追求した結果のリズム・メロディ・アンサンブル。 これをあの時代に作った３人に敬服する。

[@zzzyxwv]

Cover by Giger who did Alien

[@strettoasino9006]

The moment when Carl Palmer surpassed all British drummers....🥁

[@pm9928]

I was today years old when I learned Keith Emerson asked Ginestera if it was ok for him to cover his work (piano concerto 1) and Emerson took the first cut to Ginastera in Switzerland where the Argentinian was living at the time and although they didn't speak the same language Ginestera through his wife Keith asked what he thought and Ginastera said "Diabolical!!!" Then added "This!... is how my music should be played!" Rhythmically this is sooooo strong the original score is emphasised in the rhythms... super stuff

The Argentine composer of this said he liked ELP's version.

[@marianocuevas363]

Este era nuestra música para los jovenes. A diferencia de lo infantil de la musica de hoy

[@user-ii2zs6sy7q]

It was an Hommage to his wife Li Tobler.

[@lucasavecchio]

Ginastera 🇦🇷

[@lionlions5286]

❤❤❤❤

[@fletcherbowman5456]

A piece of music that sounds like being trapped in a submarine during a catastrophic hull breach. (That's a compliment by the way.)

[@user-le4sp8rt1y]

Roll another one!

[@vokin-nc8th]

инструменталка...❤😂

[@mudman6832]

Creature Double Feature intro

[@wbelfast777]

sounds like a hammer horror film soundtrack

[@kurzackd]

From the description: "Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer helped define and set new standards throughout one of the most ambitious and experimental periods in 20th-Century popular music" *"popular music"* lol... I admire them immensely, but they were *NOT pop* ... by no means... not by a LONG shot !! :O .

[@diogenes2550]

They were popular. Had multiple U.S. top ten albums. Hence popular music.

[@josedeoliveiralima5777]

Lembra bastante Triumvirat❤

[@user-dm4lc4ln4h]

Arguably the most innovative adaptation in the rock and roll era. Groundbreaking. What is this? It's not jazz. It's not classical. It's a little bit rock skirting those King Crimson edges but at the same time it's not. The aggression is what gets me. The intent. No fooling around here.

[@stephenbadamo130]

A mix of Rush and DEVO

[@alekseybubnow6997]

Нестрашненько, нормально.

[@spiritoflights]

No Sorry

[@jimecker8256]

Terible

[@patrickholt2270]

So what? It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't express anything important. It's abstraction for the sake of abstraction, and noodling around for what? Showing off? To prove you can waste that amount of studio time? It speaks of a particular kind of privilege to me, of boomer complacency and indifference to the shape of the world and other people's lives. Punk was necessary, and still is. This isn't.

[@bookbard2382]

It expresses the ultimate talent of human beings to strive for innovation and things outside our comfort zone of “normalcy” and to expand our very understanding of music itself. It exemplifies what humans can accomplish outside the limited bounds of the status-quo…namely a unique masterpiece in pure sound without the need or limitation of words. It’s the exact opposite of Boomer complacency, its Boomer brilliance.

[@Skartak]

What was the point of your comment? All you did was draw up a straw man to confirm your own prejudice. So what? It doesnt mean anything. It doesnt express anything important. It's complaining for the sake of complaining, and whining for what? Making other people share your own misery? To prove that you can waste that amount of screen time? It speaks of particular kind of privilege to me, of snobby entitlement and not only ignorance but also intolerance towards other peoples lives and the multitude of different avenues for creative self-expression. Just because you cant perceive any meaning or substance does not mean there isnt any. You just lack the ability to perceive it. Which is okey. There's just no need for your arrogant and dismissive attitude.

[@ProgAndJazz]

Two days' ago prize for the most misunderstanding and arrogant comment must go your way, my friend...

[@billwhite2989]

That is the lamest comment I have ever read. You really should get out of the basement sometimes.

[@progfanCoke]

Touch grass my friend
