Renaissance

Renaissance is a pioneering progressive rock band, formed in 1969 by former members of the Yardbirds. Initially led by Keith Relf and Jim McCarty, before evolving with new members like Annie Haslam, who is considered the vocal signature of the band. They stand out for their fusion of classical influences with rock elements, creating a unique sound world that often includes symphonic instruments and rich harmonic vocals. Their popular works include albums such as "Ashes Are Burning" and "Scheherazade and Other Stories," which have gained fame for their poetic and orchestral power.
