LA RECENSIONE

During the 1970s, RCA released a series of anthologies dedicated to the major composers of soundtracks and background music, especially from the rich Italian and French scenes.

The ninth volume offers us an in-depth look at Antonio Riccardo Luciani, one of the most cultured musicians of his time. It consists of a series of Renaissance and Medieval music pieces, played with period instruments and all composed by Maestro Luciani.

What stands out in this curious compilation? Always on the theme of recovering the musical and television culture of the late 20th century, I would like to remind the readers of this review of a RAI production, broadcast between the 70s and 80s: L'Almanacco del giorno dopo.

Do you remember that beautiful opening, where the figures of the seasons turned in an artisanal way accompanied by a musical background? Well, that musical background was composed by Maestro Luciani, its title is Chanson Balladee and it is found within this RCA anthology.

The rest of this work follows the same lines as the mentioned piece, featuring flutes, cymbals, and court dances.
