About this album

Five Bridges is a bold symphonic prog statement from The Nice, showing the group pushing rock into more ambitious, orchestral territory. Released in 1970, it reflects Keith Emerson’s growing fascination with classical forms and arrangement, blending original material with adaptations of composers such as Tchaikovsky and Sibelius. The record sits at an important point in the band’s evolution, bridging their late-1960s experimental style and the larger-scale progressive rock that would follow. Its mix of dynamic keyboard work, sharp ensemble playing and classical quotation helped establish The Nice as one of the key early acts in British prog.
