Nikolo Kotzev Discography of CDs

Nikolo Kotzev albums This is a concept album based on the predictions of the 16th century prophet Nostradamus. Principally recorded at Nitrax Studios, Mariehamn, Finland between 1997 & 2000. This collection features orchestral rock songs written by guitarist Artist regarding the life of the prophet Nostradamus. There was a time in the '70s when rock operas were all the rage. Since then they have been pretty scarce, and many times with good reason. This rock opera is quite possibly the most successful attempt at the genre to have ever come around. The awesome results are probably greatly related to the fact that the CD's creator (Kotzev) is not only a rock composer, but also an accomplished classical composer. The result is a CD that combines prog metal work, progressive rock, and plenty of classical/operatic leanings to achieve a very potent mix. Kotzev also recruited a considerably impressive cast to fill out the roles in his creation. That cast includes such names as Alannah Myles, Sass Jordan, Glenn Hughes, and Joe Lynn Turner. The work is very powerful, emotional, and inspiring. ~ Gary Hill Nostradamus is a fascinating combination of powerful rock music mixed with orchestral elements involving a full blown symphonic orchestra as well as some of the most respected voices/talents in rock, Alannah Miles, Goran Edman, Yngwie Malmsteen, Glenn Hughes (Black Sabbath, Deep Purple) & Joe Lynn Turner.
