樂隊簡介

Trans-Siberian Orchestra是由Savatage的御用製作人Paul O'Neill所號召組成的side-project樂團,參與的樂手包含了Savatage的團員。
如領導人物keyboard手Jon Oliva、吉他手Al Pitrelli、bass手John Middleton和鼓手Jeff Plate皆全部在籍,此外更邀集了多位紐約百老匯樂界的歌手、大型交響樂團和唱詩班,共同合作以實現Paul O'Neill長久以來的音樂夢想。
在音樂界已經20年的Paul O'Neill,最早時是在百老匯的劇場擔當吉他手,到了80年代中期後,他陸續成為了Aerosmith、Badlines等樂團的製作人,之後,由於和Savatage合作愉快,更成為Savatage的專屬製作人,並協助Savatage陸續完成了多張備受讚譽的金屬歌劇作品,包括<Streets>、<Dead Winter Dead>等,由於Savatage的成功,使得Paul O'Neill的名氣也隨之水漲船高。
在紐約長大的Paul O'Neill,對於孩提時期時深深感動他的一些節慶事物,特別是耶誕節,始終難以忘懷,熱愛撰寫故事的Paul,對於紐約市在耶誕節時街道的美麗景致更是有難以言喻的情感,而這也正是他希望能藉由Trans-Siberian Orchestra這樣的一個音樂project,來將這種節慶氣氛以另一種新的風貌呈現出來的緣由。
其實從團名"Trans-Siberian Orchestra"(橫越西伯利亞樂團)或許就能約略嗅出此project的音樂風格並非一般金屬樂,而是以交響樂風為主軸的主題式搖滾樂劇,的確,以Paul O'Neill、Jon Oliva和另一位資深製作人Robert Kinkel三人為創作核心的TSO,采分工的合作模式,由Paul O'Neill包辦專輯概念故事和歌詞的編寫,而Jon Oliva則發揮他的交響編曲及鋼琴、鍵盤的彈奏能力,Robert Kindel也協助了部份創作與鍵盤彈奏。
如上所述,TSO的風格就是定位在抒情式的故事音樂,僅管沒有什麼金屬味,不過Savatage式的美旋律特色依然貫穿其中,譜以大量的交響樂、鍵盤與鋼琴演奏,眾多的男女歌手輪流獻唱,再配上大量的合唱表現,使得Savatage的優美概念得以用另一種更為輕鬆活潑的形式來呈現!或許可以想像一下,將<Dead Winter Dead>專輯中激烈的部份去除,而僅將柔美的部份保留下來,大致就是Trans-Siberian Orchestra的音樂走向了!(轉自VC)
