Hackett's best album ever
Manny Hernandez | Bay Area, CA | 09/22/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Guitarrist Stever Hackett, after he left Genesis in mid-1977 has left a very rich solo musical legacy, which continues to grow every year. Within his works, three classical guitar albums stand out: this one, "Momentum" and "There are many sides to the night." The two first were recorded in studio, and the latter was recorded live. But "Bay of Kings" has been, in my opinion, Hackett's most incredible musical accomplishment so far, including both his works done using electric guitar and classical guitar.You'll be delighted to discover in the album a new rendering of the beautiful 1972 Genesis song (composed by Hackett) "Horizons," but it's only part of a grandieuse masterpiece made up of 15 compositions of a beauty that takes time to find elsewhere. If you have a chance to listen to "Kim" or "Blacklight" you'll be able to easily understand what I mean.Note: the original release of the album, in 1983, included only the first twelve songs. This version added three more tracks to complement an already perfect work."
Disco clįsico
J. B. Fresno | Madrid, Spain | 02/24/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Con este disco, Steve Hackett se decidió por fin a hacer lo que tanto tiempo había estado apuntando: un disco completo de corte clásico que podría formar parte del repertorio de Andrés Segovia. El disco es muy bueno, bajo estos parámetros si no fuera por la tendencia de Hackett al plagio. En este caso, Horizons (ya famosa por Foxtrot) no es sino una recreación del primer movimiento de una suite para violoncello de Bach. Lo mismo le ha ocurrido, en el pasado, con otros temas que, en realidad, son cuasi-plagios de temas de Carl Orff o Erik Satie. Nada que objetar a que haga versiones de los clásicos, pero, por favor, que no intente hacerlos pasar como temas propios."
Classical Guitar from a Versatile Player
R. Langdon | Four Oaks, NC USA | 06/21/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This one is strictly classical guitar. If you like Hackett's harder and more progressive music only, this is not for you. But if you appreciate original compositions for classical guitar played by a master at his instrument, this is it.Hackett proves once again that he is far from one (or even two) dimensional. There are Many Sides to Hackett and he proves it once again with Bay of Kings.For a very nice companion CD to make this a 2fer, also get Momentum. I have them both and they are really nice to play as one long set.Happy listening ..."
