Pubblicato originariamente nel 1997, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” di Steve Hackett & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra viene pubblicato per la prima volta in vinile, rimasterizzato appositamente per questo formato.
Disponibile anche in edizione speciale CD Digipak.
Omaggio musicale ispirato all’opera teatrale di William Shakespeare, questo album vede Steve alla chitarra classica accompagnato dal direttore d’orchestra Matt Dunkley e dall’intera orchestra.
Anche Roger King e il fratello John Hackett, collaboratori di lunga data, partecipano a quello che è spesso considerato uno dei capolavori dell’opera classica di Steve.
La John Hackett Band pubblica un nuovo album in studio e l’esibizione dal vivo durante tutto il 2025, tra cui una celebrazione dell’album di debutto di Steve Hackett, Voyage Of The Acolyte, in cui John si è esibito con il fratello e che l’anno prossimo festeggerà il suo 50° anniversario. ACQUISTALO QUI.
Il nuovo album in studio è il seguito del loro We Are Not Alone del 2017.
Red Institution riflette una band che è cresciuta insieme nell’ultimo decennio.
Influenze, stili esecutivi e di scrittura molto diversi si fondono in un album di ampio respiro; un album eclettico e di carattere che offre speranza tra le tante preoccupazioni moderne.
Come è caratteristica della musica progressiva, la classica, il jazz, il rock, il funk, il pop e il folk hanno tutti voce in capitolo.
Allo stesso tempo anthemico ed elegiaco, informativo e giocoso, riflessivo e impressionistico, l’album riecheggia molto l’esperienza dal vivo della band – dai momenti più dolci e teneri a quelli più incalzanti e risolutivi. (dal comunicato della Band)

Stella (Richardson/Parsons)
Theme and Rondo (Hackett)
Who Let the Rain In? (Richardson)

Tutte le news sul nuovo album di Steve Hackett qui:
A Spoleto per raccontare la sua avventura con i Genesis.
Sabato 1 giugno 2024, Teatro Nuovo “Gian Carlo Menotti”, Spoleto
Nel corso di un incontro pubblico, Steve ha raccontato la sua avventura musicale con i Genesis, la sua musica, la sua arte chitarristica.
Con lui ha dialogato il giornalista Mario Giammetti, autore di oltre 15 libri sui Genesis e uno dei maggiori esperti internazionali della band inglese.
Ecco un estratto dell’incontro:
Una conversazione aperta alle domande e al contributo del pubblico, per ascoltare, dalla voce del chitarrista, le storie, gli aneddoti e i personaggi di una straordinaria vicenda creativa, una preziosa occasione per scoprire il suo talento espressivo e la sua tecnica compositiva, per esplorare, insieme ad uno dei protagonisti, il complesso universo Genesis.
La Biblioteca “G. Carducci” di Spoleto prosegue così l’omaggio ad alcuni dei protagonisti e degli album più influenti della musica e della cultura rock degli anni ‘70, dopo l’approfondimento critico, nel gennaio scorso, dedicato a Selling England by the Pound dei Genesis (raccontato e analizzato, attraverso le testimonianze inedite dei membri della band, da Mario Giammetti).
Tratto dal comunicato stampa.
A ottobre e novembre Steve sarà in tour in Italia.

Il 13 settembre è uscito il quarto singolo, Scorched Earth. Ecco il video:
Il 26 agosto è uscito il terzo singolo, Natalia. Ecco il video:
Steve commenta su Facebook: “Il peso della nazione russa – la mia musica più slava, ispirata da tutti quei meravigliosi compositori classici russi e che racconta la storia di quella nazione emergente con le sue lotte per il potere. Natalia è una Everywoman russa, costantemente ostacolata da una serie di regimi oppressivi”.
Guarda “Fox’s Tango”, il secondo video estratto dall’album:
Guarda “Wingbeats”, il primo video estratto dall’album:
“Le ragnatele del lockdown vengono spazzate via in un colpo solo! – dice Steve sulla sua pagina Facebook – Con la mostruosa sezione ritmica di Jonas, Craig, Nick D’Virgillio e Phil Ehart insieme all’impennata del sax e del clarinetto basso di Rob, Nad, Amanda Lehmann, Lorelei & Durga McBroom e me stesso alla voce, il dutar di Sodirkhon Ubaidulloev, il tar di Malik Mansurov, il violino e la viola di Christine Townsend, l’organo oscuramente potente di Roger e la mia chitarra, ci immergiamo a pieno ritmo in quel selvaggio rilascio di energia.
È un album “senza esclusione di colpi” che cavalca quell’onda, scatenando quei demoni, sogni e incubi, che si schiantano tutti insieme sulla riva. Mi sono goduto la potenza di questo album permettendo alla mia chitarra di urlare di gioia e di rabbia… e ancora una volta volare attraverso quegli oceani verso terre lontane.
E’ fantastico connettersi creativamente con musicisti di luoghi lontani, specialmente quando non siamo stati in grado di incontrarci. Abbiamo tutti una voce nella nostra cacofonia di suoni e gridiamo insieme in Surrender of Silence!”
“Surrender of Silence” è anche disponibile per il pre-ordine su HackettSongs in esclusiva edizione limitata in vinile rosso/nero Nebula 2LP+CD.
