Queen - A Night At The Opera

The most expensive album of its time (1975), which saved Queen from bankruptcy and elevated them to the top. The album's main masterpiece is Bohemian Rhapsody, where the band manually spliced magnetic tapes to create the effect of a 180-voice choir. The record impresses with a variety of genres: from heavy metal and 1920s jazz band to progressive rock.

Scenario by OBERTY: our advice for those who want to understand why this album became a legend. You sit dead-center between two speakers, open the grand gatefold, and play side one. Your focus is on the sound engineering: track how Freddie Mercury's vocals were layered artificially and how effects and instruments migrate between the left and right channels.
