 The new version attempts to bring to light the work as it should have been, and herein lies the merit of the operation.

 Changing not only the arrangement, but also the tempo and harmonies of classics like 'Porta Portese' and 'Questo Piccolo Grande Amore' seemed a real tackiness to me.

The reissue of Claudio Baglioni's 1972 concept album 'Questo Piccolo Grande Amore' brings to light the originally intended, more expansive work. While it enhances comprehension through added tracks and guests, the modernized arrangements and over-polishing detract from the original's charm. The album feels partly a commercial project alongside its artistic goal, reflecting different Baglioni eras but lacking cohesion. Ultimately, it is a mixed yet interesting tribute to a classic. Explore Claudio Baglioni's reimagined classic and decide if the modern touches enhance or detract from the timeless story.

 The album is a tribute to classical music, particularly to the melodrama of the 19th and 20th centuries.

 The album is extremely well-made... with impeccable arrangements, finely crafted string and brass sections and vocal harmonies.

 The very aged voice of the singer... makes it feel like a work born outside of its time.

This review discusses Brian Wilson’s album That Lucky Old Sun as a well-crafted but ultimately nostalgic work. The flawless arrangements and Beach Boys-style harmonies recall past glories, yet the aged vocals and banal spoken interludes make the album feel out of time. The reviewer recommends it mainly for longtime fans rather than newcomers eager for Wilson’s innovative genius found in past masterpieces like SMiLE or Pet Sounds. Explore Brian Wilson’s That Lucky Old Sun to experience a beautifully nostalgic tribute to California and classic pop.

 The album that was supposed to be, as the subtitle stated, a 'teenage symphony to God' was lost forever.

 If this album had indeed been released 40 years ago, it probably would have revolutionized music at least as much, and perhaps more, than what Sergeant Pepper and his band did.

SMiLE was an ambitious Beach Boys album from 1967, abandoned due to Brian Wilson's personal issues and competition from the Beatles. Resurrected in 2004 as a symphonic work, it showcases complex themes, Gershwin influences, and American epic lyrics by Van Dyke Parks. The official release is faithful to the original vision, though Wilson's aged voice contrasts with earlier recordings. The album remains a revolutionary masterpiece that could have changed music history. Explore Brian Wilson's SMiLE and experience the legendary symphonic masterpiece reborn.
