LA RECENSIONE
One of the best Italian "prog" LPs. The union between Osanna and Luis Bacalov is perfectly successful here.
Considered by many to be a "minor album" by Osanna, it contains excellent tracks starting with the beginning with Preludio e Tema.
Soundtrack of the film "Milano Calibro 9," one of the most beautiful poliziotteschi in Italian cinema with Gastone Moschin.
The conclusion, Canzona, is one of their best tracks, so much so that the entire album is presented again in a "live" version recorded in Japan with the title "Rosso Rock."

Summary by Bot
Osanna's Preludio Tema Variazioni Canzona is praised as one of the best Italian progressive rock albums, especially for its collaboration with Luis Bacalov. It serves as the soundtrack for the acclaimed poliziotteschi film Milano Calibro 9. Despite being considered a 'minor album' by some, it includes standout tracks like 'Preludio e Tema' and the closing 'Canzona,' which is highly regarded. The album's strength led to a live rendition recorded in Japan titled 'Rosso Rock.'Tracklist Videos

This album has the merit of uniting all the influences of Osanna’s sound in just 30 minutes.
'Canzona', in my opinion, the best track ever composed by Osanna, a beautiful ballad for orchestra.
