"Eldorado Overture" is the opening track on Electric Light Orchestra's 1974 concept album ''Eldorado''. It was a new experience for Jeff Lynne to use a full orchestra and choir for the band's songs. The opening starts with haunting sounds provided by Richard Tandy on the synthesizer. A deep voice (Peter Forbes-Robertson) speaks out the first lyrics of the entire album. ''The dreamer, the unwoken fool,'' The words fade into an orchestra that opens the concept of the LP from 1:11 to 2:11, an excerpt from Edvard Grieg's piano concerto. The orchestra slows and segues into the next track "Can't Get It Out of My Head". Since the two tracks fit together well, they were performed together up until the ''Time'' tour in 1981. ==Reviews== "''The first actual experience of having a great big orchestra was the Eldorado Overture and it blew me away. I never write the words to my songs until after I've finished the music. In this case, I wrote the spoken introduction for the actor in the van on the way to the studio.''" Jeff Lynne (2000 - Flashback) "''This was the first time I'd ever used a big orchestra on a record. Up until then it had been two cellos and a violin double-tracked a few times. I was thrilled when the 30-piece struck up on the big intro.''" Jeff Lynne (2001 - Eldorado Remaster) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eldorado Overture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
