  • Whoa! Why was I not made aware of this band years ago? I just stumbled on Ekseption minutes ago surfing YouTube. Symphonic rock has always been right up my alley. When I was 14 and first stumbled on my dad's Kansas "Leftoverture" album which he didn't listen to,I thought "Where has this this music been all my life?". From there on my own I discovered Genesis,Frank Zappa,ELP,Jethro Tull,The Enid,and so on. It's a crime that this kind of music isn't mainstream.

  • The Original is from Johann Sebastian Bach, a german composer lived from 1685 - 1750. It´s called Toccata&Fuge BWV 565 and it was written for Organ. An incredible Piece of music... and a wonderfull interpretation by the genius of Rick van der Linden and Rein van den Broek.

    "Ит из музыка" называется, дурень хренов. Это называется хорошая музыка, съигранная настоящими профессиональными музыкантами группы Эксепшн, из Голландии. Им,музыкантам группы Эксепшн, от нас низкий поклон.

  • @RalfsLab Just Want to say! YEA, life was better for your father and me !!!!!!

  • is it art rock??

  • thats so amazing! are there any heavymetal-classic combination versions of this?

  • @EdenLandau Or how about Dragon Warrior?

  • @RalfsLab Naw, man. You should be glad it isn't mainstream. Anything made mainstream becomes awful. I found out about these guys after hearing a group that opened for them called Maneige. They're amazing. If you love these guys, you'd LOVE Egg. Long live prog.

  • @RalfsLab--

    Have you heard of Kayak? They are a Dutch progressive rock band heavily influenced by classical music. Their keyboardist, Ton Scherpenzeel (another genius), occasionally worked with Ekseption's keyboardist, Rick van der Linden.

    Of the Kayak videos available on YouTube, I especially recommend "Relics From a Distant Age",. of which there might be more than one posting. Look for the one featuring incredible visuals of surrealistic art--a treat for eyes and ears.

  • Altough i like the arrangement from Sky more than this one, Ekseption is overall  the best modern Bach band in the world

  • Apart from being a beautiful piece, it also reminded me of a long-forgotten lil' series I like to call Castlevania. Good ol' Castlevania... I missed you so... Anyway, thanks for this! Always enjoyed this kinda music.

  • I grew up with this music at early 80's and still sound great and entertaining. Thanks for posting.
