    Damn Sandro, I don’t think you’ll ever stop amazing me, I believe. Claudio Lolli? This album?

    Several years later, Claudio will sign the most beautiful Italian album of all time, "Zingari Felici," a sensational record in which perfection is achieved at every level.

    I love Lolli, but this album is unbearably sad. Beautiful, yes, deep, heartfelt, but what a depression... I find the next one, "Canzoni di rabbia," much better (regarding the production prior to "Zingari," a watershed and a masterpiece).
    And yes, the message, the denunciation, and everything you want... but did "Morire di leva" really have to last 9 minutes?
  • SandroGiacobbe

    A bit like that, it's true, but I found it beautiful, and also the song "morire di leva".
Edoardo Bennato: Non Farti Cadere Le Braccia

I have always wondered if the cover represented something phallic... anyway, wonderful.

    Sandro, you’re always the same. How can you think of a phallic symbol as a "spacchio," unless you’re referring to what we call "minchia sicca" around here...
  • SandroGiacobbe

    Even the covers of my albums are filled with phallic symbols... have you ever seen the one for 'notte senza di te'?
  • odradek
    8 jul 16
    What does it have to do with anything? You yourself are a phallic symbol.

Fabrizio De André: Volume 1
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Just 'Caro amore' on the notes of the Concierto de Aranjuez was enough to give immortality to an often overlooked album in the De André discography. If you then add the beautiful 'Preghiera in Gennaio' for the friend Tenco and songs like 'Via del Campo' and 'Bocca di rosa', just little gems, the album becomes eternal. Thank you for these almost 40 minutes, Faber.

    Dear Sandro, please don’t hold it against me, but personally, I can't really get on board with "Dear love." In total agreement with the others listed, I would add the revised version of Brassens' "Marcia nuziale." Not to mention the medieval whore omitted from the texts when just a groove before there was another one on the balcony...
  • SandroGiacobbe
    4 aug 16
    Well, it's obviously a matter of taste, but for me, 'Caro Amore' is a show. I agree on the rest.
Fabrizio De André: Tutti Morimmo A Stento
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
My favorite by De Andrè, too many jewels, I can't prefer another... 'Cantico dei drogati' is a 10, 'Inverno' too, and few remember 'Recitativo', one of the most beautiful things ever written by the Genoese singer-songwriter, a piece of moving depth. It almost seems disrespectful to songs like 'Leggenda di Natale' or 'La ballata degli impiccati' but oh well...

    ...the legend of the unhappy king (we who invoke mercy, we are the addicts...) is a bite to the heart.

Fabrizio De André: La Buona Novella
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Moving, epic, monumental, unparalleled. One of the highest points in songwriting, with a truly astonishing De André this time. An unforgettable concept in its sounds and lyrics, where it almost feels superficial to talk about the songs themselves, because, after all, I believe it’s about the 35 most orgasmic minutes I can remember. Even voting for it makes me feel guilty.

    In unsuspecting times, Vasco Rossi said that "La buona novella" is the album he would have liked to write. Then I saw him subdued at De Andrè's funeral. From that moment on, at least for a little while, I started to reevaluate him, even if he remains fundamentally a low-level author.
  • SandroGiacobbe
    4 aug 16
    Even though it's scarce, I can't manage to hate him, unlike someone like Ligabue for example... The fact is that if Vasco writes me the good news, my grandmother plays the piano like Beethoven.

Fabrizio De André: Canzoni
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
We need to start from a premise. Anything that contains 'The Ballad of Lost Love' automatically gets a 5, no questions asked. The fact is that if you then add wonderful Italian adaptations by Cohen and Bressan (Suzanne and Le passanti), but also by Dylan (Via della povertà), then you have no doubts. Oh, and 'The Ballad of Blind Love' too... Oh, and also 'Fila la lana'... Okay, I’ll stop or I’ll never finish.
Fabrizio De André: Vol. 3
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Inferior to 'We All Died with Difficulty,' but when it comes to masterpieces like this, comparisons are often wasted, as a record that includes gems like 'La canzone di Marinella,' 'La guerra di Piero,' and the slow 'Amore che vieni amore che vai' cannot possibly be second to anyone. Even though I, being particular, prefer 'La ballata del Michè' to them, which I find one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Francesco De Gregori: Alice Non Lo Sa
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
The title track is a manifesto of the prince, but how can we not talk about a piece like 'Le strade di lei'? Or the same 'Buonanotte fiorellino', or the magnificent 'La casa di Hilde'... A wonderful debut from a De Gregori in top form... Ah, and 'Il ragazzo'.
  • Zimmy
    4 aug 16
    I trust in the typo, but the fact remains that "Buonanotte fiorellino" is on "Rimmel" and here instead we have "Buonanotte FRATELLO"... which in terms of beauty is second to none, a forgotten gem from a peculiar, caustic, and ruthless De Gregori ("‘...and I do not envy your white house, where you will endure for a hundred years to end up on a granite bed with the comfort of your conscience, clean hands and a heart of crystal, and the dogs will bark in half-voice... I perhaps will no longer be anything, just an x in the nitrogen cycle... if there is a hell, it will know how to listen to me: good night brother, with love.’): how far removed from the complacent tenderness of the almost homonymous song from two years later. Anyway, from this album, I adore, besides the ones you mentioned, the splendid "Marianna al bivio" ("...with the sun in her hair clinging to a paradise of tinfoil"). A great debut.
  • SandroGiacobbe
    4 aug 16
    I made a terrible blunder, it was obviously Buonanotte Fratello, I hope you can forgive me. Anyway, also Marianna at the crossroads, beautiful, you are absolutely right.
  • Zimmy
    4 aug 16
    "I hope you forgive me"... it's not like you've wronged me! I forgive you less for the fact that I loved you and you did nothing. :)

Francesco Guccini: Via Paolo Fabbri 43
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Wonderful from beginning to end, okay the poisoned one, but songs like 'Canzone quasi d'amore' or 'Il Pensionato' always move me.
  • enbar77
    4 aug 16
    I completely agree with you. "Canzone quasi d'amore" is a masterpiece, even though the best version is the one from "Guccini live collection."
Francesco Guccini: Stanze Di Vita Quotidiana
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
A difficult and perhaps pretentious album, where Guccini engages in particularly challenging lyrics that often come across as pretentious. But if you give me a manifesto of the purest friendship like 'Canzone per Piero', I’ll give you 5 until death.
  • Zimmy
    4 aug 16
    More than the pretentious lyrics, in my opinion, the problem with this album is that it lacks melodies. Guccio limits himself to declaiming excessively verbose texts over almost flimsy music (melodically speaking; I find the arrangements to be well-crafted instead), and this makes listening to the songs unbearable, especially considering that they're almost all long in duration. It's a shame because the lyrics are very beautiful, complex, and mature, but I would go so far as to say that to fully appreciate them, one has to read them separately...
  • Zimmy

    ...TO fully appreciate them *

    I agree with what you say, but I hope you will agree with me that 'Canzone per Piero' is truly wonderful.
  • enbar77
    4 aug 16
    More than the lyrics stitched to inconsistent melodies, the weak point of this album is that it seems overly drenched in pessimism.
  • SandroGiacobbe
    4 aug 16
    For me, that's almost a positive point; the problem is that often the lyrics are meaningful only in themselves.
  • Zimmy
    4 aug 16
    "But I hope you will agree with me that 'Canzone per Piero' is truly wonderful."
    I certainly agree. :)
Francesco Guccini: Amerigo
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Absolute wonder of Guccini. 'Amerigo' is divine, '100, Pennsylvania Ave' is just as good, and 'Eskimo' truly captures the essence of Francesco. 8 spectacular minutes. It's a shame about the other songs not living up to it, a gem.
The intertwining over time of a friendship through sounds at the edges of the human.

Ivan Graziani: La città che io vorrei
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
A more than good debut for Ivan Graziani, still not at the peak of his artistic maturity here, but starting to astonish with songs like 'Colori' and 'A volte in primavera'.
Ivano Fossati: La casa del serpente
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Fossati's first masterpiece. No fillers, all beautiful and never predictable, among them the stunning 'Anna di Primavera' with Mia Martini in the background and 'Non può morire un'idea', later sung by Mina as well. The title track is superb too, and shortly after, 'La mia band suona il rock' would arrive.
  • hjhhjij

    You have no idea how much I hope to be able to download in good quality the album by Martini written by Fossati someday.
Ivano Fossati: Good-bye Indiana
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Someone write a review for this album otherwise I’ll do it and it will definitely suck.
  • Zimmy

    A still immature and quite uncertain Fossati on the path to take (in my opinion, the first album where Fossati begins to be Fossati is the next one, "La casa del serpente"), but still respectable just for the fact that he played all the instruments here (and damn well, too).
Ivano Fossati: La Mia Banda Suona il Rock
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Not great in every way, but if you sing me 'Di tanto amore' and 'E di nuovo cambio casa' then I have no choice but to love you.
Lucio Dalla's first masterpiece, 'La casa in riva al mare', remains one of my favorites in his repertoire, not to mention 'Itaca' and the fabulous 'Il gigante e la bambina'. It was here that one of the most beautiful stories of Italian singer-songwriter tradition began.

    For me, the string of masterpieces begins with the next one, but already here, dear Sandrino, the pearls abound.

Roberto Vecchioni: Parabola
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
I may be crazy, but it's my professor's favorite. Tracks like 'Luci a san siro' or the moving 'Povero ragazzo' stayed in my heart the first time I heard them. 'Lui se n'è andato' is no less.
Sergio Endrigo: La periferia / Aria di neve
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
'Air of Snow' remains, after all these years, one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
They already had so many ideas, countless. Phenomena.
