Picking up the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I would like to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Antonello Venditti, presenting a ranking of his albums (stopping at Cuore from 1984 and including Theorius Campus with De Gregori) from the least beautiful to the best...
N°5: "Quando Verrà Natale" (1974)
After about a year of musical hiatus, Antonello presents us with a new album of unreleased songs. The arrangements become increasingly complex: this is the album featuring A Cristo, a track that led Antonello to be accused of blasphemy due to the lines "Ammazzete Gesù Crì, quanto sei fico," later replaced with "Ammazzali Gesù Crì quanto so' fichi." Also noteworthy is Campo De' Fiori, a poignant vision of a society in decline, the mysticism of Figli Del Domani, the portrayal of feminism in Marta, and then the concluding title track, which could be interpreted as a mockery of those waiting for miracles that are never meant to arrive.
Overall rating: 9
Masterpiece of the album: Marta
