Il Castello di Atlante

Musical Group

Il Castello di Atlante formed in 1974. Reviews emphasise a violin-led, 1970s-influenced progressive rock sound; historical members include Massimo Di Lauro (violin) and Roberto Giordano (keyboards). They have a long live activity and have been noted as much more celebrated abroad (notably Japan) than in Italy.

The band began in 1974 and presents a classic-based progressive rock with strong folk influences; reviewers cite ties to 1970s Italian prog and PFM-style sounds.

Il Castello di Atlante are an Italian progressive rock group formed in 1974. Reviews praise their violin-led sound and strong ties to 1970s prog traditions. A 1992 studio album (Sono Io il Signore delle Terre a Nord) and a 2006 acoustic live recording (Concerto acustico) are highlighted. The band is noted as relatively obscure in Italy but much admired in Japan.

For:Fans of 1970s-style Italian progressive rock; listeners who appreciate violin-led arrangements; collectors of live/acoustic prog recordings.

 Among the many obsessions and passions of the Japanese, the love for Italian progressive rock is at the top of the list and in the land of the rising sun, it overshadows our poor Italy in terms of interest 10 to 1. These very Castello di Atlante, virtually unknown in Italy, are considered deities there in Japan and on the occasion of their tour, they were celebrated as if the Mark II of Deep Purple had arrived.

 The violin sublimely interprets the most diverse atmospheres, ranging from classical to folkloric motifs, always managing to remain extremely evocative and it’s the instrument that guides the group throughout the album.
