I hadn't seen the review; there are so many that some slip through the cracks, but I had the album set aside for a while. I've been listening to it for a couple of days and thought I'd write a few lines because this work deserves some visibility. Then a doubt... I search and find that there's no need, especially since your words are truly fitting and excellent. I fully agree with you. Hi :)) (ps: kosmo, if you're interested, let me know; you have to listen to this album, bye)

Gustav Mahler Sinfonia n° 6 "Tragica"

Yes, it’s true, you’re also in the first one, by the way, listen to Uri Caine's version of that movement. However, in this case, it's not about insistence, since the sixth is known as "The Tragic." Hi :)

I remember reading about it a while ago, but I've never managed to get my hands on this record. It's a shame; I'm left with the curiosity that you - oh marrano - are renewing now :) By the way, I find the reissue of the Decca Classics symbol on the cover really cute. Bye!

Splendid review, grasshopper. I had written something about this immense masterpiece too, but then I left my restless notes in a drawer. Not everything is meant to be read. This music evokes something; the first movement is both terrible and wonderful at the same time. I remember when I discovered it, I didn't listen to anything else for weeks, literally enchanted by these sounds. I won't go on because you've said everything that matters, including the story of the final blows and the tragic fate connected to the music, almost a prophecy. Regarding interpretations, I adore Solti's interpretation, but you already know that. I also have a splendid version by Abbado with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (by the way, a special price from Deutsche Grammophon). However, I've recently had the chance to listen to Pierre Boulez, and I must say it impressed me a lot; I don't know why, perhaps a certain brilliance in the strings, if that makes sense. Chapeau anyway, dear Grasshopper. Bye :)

I understand the words of Frantz, which I endorse. I still have the vinyl I bought back then, listened to, loved, and today I keep it jealously. My 80s were more like this than anything else. It’s really a shame that since then Simon hasn’t repeated himself, and anyway, Gabri, I think you should listen to this album again today. Bye :)

Fabrizio De André Canzoni

Dear Grasshopper, we have talked a lot about Faber in your reviews and in those of others as well. There is always the risk of repeating ourselves. I mentioned some songs in the review "Tutto Fabrizio De André." You are right to define this album as "a collection," but it is very homogeneous in its themes of the defeated and the oppressed and in its desire to connect the singer-songwriter references, which are very present even where the song's authorship belonged to Faber ("La città vecchia" owes everything to Brassens). By the way, it’s important to remember that Faber did not want to meet Brassens precisely to preserve the image he had of the artist. I love "Morire per delle idee" from this album because it is a song about the hypocrisy of a very current sarcasm and "Le passanti," which I believe belongs a bit to all of us (the beginning alone is enough: "I dedicate this song to every woman thought of as love"). I won't dwell on the ratings; you have already shared what I think. Bye :)
