Symphonic Music of Yes is a 1993 album by London Philharmonic Orchestra, covering songs of the progressive rock band Yes, with the English Chamber Orchestra and the London Community Gospel Choir. The arrangements were by Dee Palmer (then David Palmer). Playing on the album were Yes guitarist Steve Howe and Yes drummer Bill Bruford. Some tracks also featured Yes vocalist Jon Anderson and featured the ABWH additional keyboardist Julian Colbeck.

In 1993 with the release of this recording, YES crossed the line of the regular minded and simplistic common sense's of some white collar chiefs of marketing; and against all expectations "SYMPHONIC MUSIC OF YES" appeared in the market acting as a giant step ahead, a revealing light to follow, for a lot of bands, devoted fans and unbelievers. Since then, every famous Rock band has tried to record a classical instrumented Hits collection material, but how many groups have achived something like this? probably very few! But when all this happened, who are going to imagine that years later; once again (2004), YES will take take again their music another step forward into the realms of Progressive Rock with the release of "MAGNIFICATION"? But that's another story…

SYMPHONIC MUSIC OF YES, is Featuring the physical presence of Steve Howe, Bill Bruford & Jon Anderson in the studio; the tracks were orchestraly recorded by former Pink Floyd's young engineer ALAN PARSON, reaching an excellent quality of orchestral arrangements for the Yes material, The great version of "Roundabout" is a fantastic example of this… but after all, haven't they tried to make their music more symphonic since 1970: Just before the transitional released of "The Yes Album", and the Kaye/Banks departure; YES worked out their initial experiments (remember that the musical YES'concept is into the Squire/Anderson minds) with the orchestral experiments since the TIME AND A WORD album. And now they have found another great way to get the job done… Remember that this decade was the playfull scene for groups of the Alternative Grunge ROCK!….. Good Luck!
