Riccardo Bertoncelli; Chris Thellung

The Profile

Co-authors of the music encyclopedia "24.000 Dischi" (first published 2005; update 2007).

Riccardo Bertoncelli is an Italian music critic; Chris Thellung is credited as co-author of '24.000 Dischi'.

Reviewer praises '24.000 Dischi' as a valuable, thoughtfully conceived music encyclopedia (1329 pages) despite omissions and debatable ratings. Published 2005 with an update in 2007; contains extensive album-by-album coverage of post-1960 pop, rock and some jazz/blues. Italian music coverage is uneven; foreign music entries show care for many artists. Overall judged one of the more interesting encyclopedic efforts since 2000.
