Hi,
I am trying to create a playlist of groups/singers from the 70's that added large symphonic orchestras to their music.
Few i didn't find (yet?!) in Spotify are:
Lux Aeterna by William Sheller
RDM - Contaminazione
Ossana - Milano Calibro
Asking if you got any ideas of stuff I missed.
The playlist:

thanks

Caravan - The New Symphonia
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Apocalypse
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!

Banco's di terra springs to mind.
Might be a stretch but Heaven and Hell by Vangelis included a large choir, even if Vangelis played all the instruments (including some symphonic percussion) himself.
Oh, and along similar lines: Klaus Schulze: X
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:
https://battema.bandcamp.com/
Also, Ephemeral Sun: it's a thing and we like making things that might be your thing: https://ephemeralsun.bandcamp.com
Both Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table by Rick Wakeman have English Chamber Choir participating.
Here is a list that can be of interest:

New Trolls - Concerto Grosso
Deep Purple - Concerto
Thanks, L'isola you mean just the piece, not the album right?
Stones yeah.
good one.
Already in the playlist, thanks. Jon Lord also did Gemini Suite and windows
X is interesting thought..... he slowed down orchestra rehearsal if i remember correctly.
I think that was actually Irrlicht, his first album, where he used recordings from a rehearsal. I think by the time he got to X it was orchestral integration. But I'm not deeply invested in this or anything

ELP - Works Vol. 1
"Normal is just the average of extremes" - Gary Lessor
Renaissance usually had an orchestra. Strawbs made great use of a choir in Grace Darling. Rick Wakeman used a choir on the final track of Criminal Record. If I am not mistaken, that was the same choir that Yes used on the final track of Going For the One.
You are correct.... X is a later album. Added it.I think that was actually Irrlicht, his first album, where he used recordings from a rehearsal. I think by the time he got to X it was orchestral integration. But I'm not deeply invested in this or anything
Great pieces. Added, thanks.
Included. Thanks
Uriah Heep - Salisbury
Good one. Thanks.
Stomu Yamashta used an orchestra for a couple of tracks on the album Go.
Camel used one for The Snow Goose, both the studio-album as the live-recording on A Live Record.
PFM used a choir on The Mountain on The World became the World. Camel on The Snow Goose.
I will presume Los Canarios - Ciclos is on the playlist
Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
Yamashta go is not on spotify :-(
Go live is there but if i remember correctly there is no orchestra there.
Camel - good one, added to the list.
