An essential review, incredibly dense and very, very clear in the play of contrasts. Perfectly in line with the "ECM New Series" style and with the spirit of this album. Congratulations, JoP.

Hello, a.c., and thank you for this album, profound and delicate like few. And thanks also to odradek for covering my period of "latitanza" on DeB by inserting the samples in my place! A warm greeting also to sfascia, Lello, and Hal who always follow me with attention and interest (entirely mutual!) and to the whole "Celletti clan"! See you soon, JoP

Edvard Grieg Piano Concerto - "Peer Gynt" Suites nn. 1 e 2 - 2 Melodie Nordiche

Splendid Grieg, beautiful review, comprehensive, timely, passionate. The piano concerto is actually one of those works I've listened to for years without truly being able to understand it to its fullest, in its truest meaning. But I believe that this review will help me revisit it after quite a while, and to love it as it surely deserves. Many compliments, JoP.

But you are in a phase of tremendous productivity, Kafkaesque and multifaceted spool! :)) Ah... this in brackets, I don't really know, but it seems to me that I need to remedy my gross deficiency as soon as possible! See you soon, and warm regards, JoP

George Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue - Piano Concerto in F - An American in Paris

Great Aeneas! This review is beautiful, comprehensive, cultured, and poetic at the same time. Congratulations over and over again! JoP

Gustav Mahler Sinfonia n° 6 "Tragica"

This is something I would have liked to write myself, sooner or later, but Grasshopper remains unmatched and unbeatable on much of the "loggione" music of DeB, so... 5 abundant stars, really! JoP

The "expressive urgency" that characterizes this moment of mine, dear odradek, does not prevent me from voting for you and strengthening my belief that, more than mere reviews, yours are true works of art. PS I have written hundreds of "haiku" when I was still young and a poet... now, alas, poetry sometimes disappears! See you soon, JoP

Lisa Ekdahl En Samling Sånger

Voto:

Lello, it's always a great pleasure for me to read you! You are one of the most attentive listeners of musical Scandinavia, and I must say that Lisa Ekdahl is a name I've been following for a while. However, I don't know this one. Thanks to your recommendation, I'll soon fill that gap! Bye, JoP

But JohnOfCazzos is cute, come on! I had never thought about it, but I could adopt him when things get rough and I'm a bit more grumpy (not during this time!). :)) Zion, anyway, you’re right. "Death to everyone" is a "huge thing" (even in the live rereading present in the recent "Summer in the Southeast")! Still sending warm greetings to everyone, JoP

I truly thank you all, dear DeBasers! It’s been a while since I’ve been on these pages; I’ve been a bit “ghost-like” (as the dear sfascia would say!) these days, but I’m dedicating this time mainly to listening, and “coming soon to these screens” I’ll return to writing more regularly! Hello to everyone and see you soon, JoP :))
