Not much before I hit 14yo for my part. Dinosaurs were still alive at that time. Then afterwards, I really didn't have to complain. Prog and rock an prog again, thanks to some of my friends big brothers.

Well I assume you've discovered these treasures somewhere around you...your dad, a big brother, an uncle or something. Perso, at home, I was the elder and my parents have never been music connoisseurs.

Their best IMO. My first vinyl

This is at least a 4. To me it would be rather awkward to give a higher score than their eponymous album, so I start with a 4 that soon could turn to a 4.5. Yes my friend, you're right; This is a masterpiece.

True. Since ever, it frequently happened that progressive rock borrowed more or less directly to classical music. Elp music screams classical music. 'Romeo and Juliet' is another of their interpretation of a classical piece. Other bands coming to mind; Jethro Tull's 'Bourée', 'Elegy' and 'Pavane' and so on. Renaissance's bits and pieces of 'Scheherazade' and also 'So Cold is Being (Adagio)...and again, probably more and finally plenty of brillant classical pieces renditions by the German band EKseption.

Etc...

I treasured this album as a child

YES too obvs, sonic, courtesy of both Wakeman and Howe and their arrangements. Genesis as well; think about bits and pieces of Firth of Fifth among others. In fact, every band labelled 'symphonic prog' flirts more or less with classical.
