The Profile

Angelo Branduardi is an Italian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, widely described in these reviews as a minstrel-like artist whose music blends folk writing with medieval, Renaissance, classical and Celtic/ethnic influences, often led by violin and acoustic guitar.

Publicly known as an Italian singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist (notably violin). Reviews repeatedly place his best-known classic period in the mid/late 1970s and emphasize his use of acoustic instrumentation and older musical forms.

Across these reviews, Angelo Branduardi comes off as an Italian minstrel-time-traveler: folk-rooted, wildly acoustic, and violin-led. The 1975–1979 run is repeatedly treated as his classic peak, with 'Alla fiera dell’est' and especially 'La pulce d’acqua' hailed as essentials. Live documents ('Concerto', 'Camminando camminando') are praised for powerful rearrangements and pan-European appreciation. Later works split opinions: introspective 'Il ladro' is defended as a last major statement, while 'Pane e rose' and 'Il rovo e la rosa' get harsher takes.
