A DeBaser review by Kyrielison recounts Marisa Terzi's return to the studio to record Canzoni perdute, a collection of songs written decades earlier. Terzi, from Berceto (Parma), released a first album in 1963 and later withdrew from public life. The project was initiated by a waiter-turned-producer who persuaded her to open the drawer of unheard songs and record them near age eighty.
