Kurzbeschreibung:

Emerson, Lake and Palmer (kurz ELP) war eine vor allem in den 1970er Jahren erfolgreiche britische Supergroup. Die Band war ein Vertreter des Progressive Rock und prägte ihn entscheidend mit.

Die Musik der Gruppe zeichnet sich durch eine keyboardlastige Vermischung unterschiedlichster Musikstile aus. Neben Jazz- und Blueseinflüssen wurden ELP vor allem für die klassischen Bestandteile in ihrer Musik berühmt. Aus dem umfangreichen Gesamtwerk ragt das Livealbum Pictures at an Exhibition (1971) heraus, auf dem die Band die Bilder einer Ausstellung des russischen Komponisten Mussorgski neu interpretierte.

Neben Eigenkompositionen wie der Suite Tarkus wurden auch klassische Vorlagen von Bartók, Janáček, Bach, Ginastera, Copland, Gulda, Sullivan, Orff und Tschaikowski bearbeitet.
