The Gold Edition-reviewed here can be regarded as a reference work, without exaggeration. Besides the two musical parts on each a gold CD (THE METAL OPERA PART I and II), will provide you with an impressive accompanying book with all the lyrics, the story of the Metal Opera, an interview with Tobias Sammet and numerous pictures.
The focus of the Metal Opera is the novice Gabriel Laymann who participates in the persecution of witches in 1602. However, he gets into a knowledge conflict, as his stepsister Anna is accused of witchcraft. Help can come through the Phantasiwelt Avantasia. Gabriel makes his way.
For each role, Tobias Sammet has won a Vielzhal brilliant fellow. The individual roles are interpreted alongside Tobias Sammet, which can be heard as Gabriel, among others, Michael Kiske, Oliver Hartmann, André Matos, Kai Hansen or Bob Rock.
In a single song-by-song analysis I verzeichte here, because it's hard to separate individual tracks from the cosmos.
The bottom line is the fact that the Metal Opera part in any well-stocked CD cabinet. The offered Gold Edition is still a special jewel.
