Rating: The 14 years that will pass between Juri Camisasca's first and second album won't just be temporal; they will see a radical change in the author's lifestyle, leading him to become a Benedictine monk.
The release from the monastery, to take on the hermitic path, coincides with the second album Te Deum.
On the first side, Juri recites a text from the 4th century in Latin, but he is the composer of the music. The result is moving and enveloping. Unlike his friend Franco Battiato, who described him as "one who is Milanese only by birth because he is an Oriental" and who explored all religions without ever fully committing to one, Juri has always been strongly Catholic.
The other tracks are O Redemptor and Cantate Domino, both based on texts from the 7th century, with the former being particularly engaging; Victimae Paschali Laudes, based on an 11th-century text, and concluding with a brief Alleluja that doesn't reach two minutes.
For Camisasca, this album, released by Emi, was not just a return to active discography but also the musical expression of his lifestyle.
Only three years will pass, and Roberto from Melegnano will gift us a beautiful album with a strongly singer-songwriter style, Il carmelo di Echt.
