Hit: 5 Stars
In the 1970s, Sir Elton John's sound inmediately set him apart from most others by being piano-based in a rock'n'roll world dominated by guitars. Another early characteristic was a set of dynamic string arrangements by Paul Buckmaster. Coupled with Taupin's often opaque but emotionally resonant lyrics, the results were unique in the history of music. Songs in this style included "Sixty Years On", "Burn Down the Mission", "Take Me to the Pilot", "Levon", "Madman Across the Water", and the best-known of these, "Tiny Dancer".
"Your Song", one of his earliest popular hits, incorporates some other features found in many of his songs: It is in binary form, with the verse repeated before the chorus begins; the piano accompaniment is prominent, though the song also features an orchestra; it uses a slowly building crescendo that brings the song to a tutti climax. Other songs that follow this pattern include "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" and "Rocket Man".
Elton has been one of the dominant commercial forces in the rock world since the 1970s. His success has had a profound impact on popular music, and contributed to the continued popularity of the piano in rock & roll.
This compilation is the best opportunity to have a Sir Elton John's Masterpiece Performances so that I strongly recommend it.
