Their new project, In Classic: Da Mozart A Celebration (2013) is a very special one, to the fans and to the band. The double album released by Immaginifica takes PFM to the Classical world! On the 2 discs of In Classic: Da Mozart A Celebration (2013) we have the band celebrating great classic composers such as Mozart, Dvorak, Prokofiev and Verdi with a full orchestra. Not just that, on the second disc they take their own music and give them the full orchestral treatment too…

Recorded in the Rome during Prog Exhibition, the festival event that has celebrated the fortieth birthday of the Italian progressive rock, this PFM live has the honor of the presence of an Anglo-Saxon music legend Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. The Magic Flute of Rock has fired up the audience with a superb performance that has amazed audiences giving moments of great intensity…

This album marked a continued maturing of both PFM's style and their presence in the Anglophone market. It benefits from Premoli's high-speed Hammond organ and synth runs on such all-out prog assaults as the conclusion of "From Under," as well as Mussida's gentle acoustic guitar lines on slower numbers like "Harlequin."…

This album marked a continued maturing of both PFM's style and their presence in the Anglophone market. It benefits from Premoli's high-speed Hammond organ and synth runs on such all-out prog assaults as the conclusion of "From Under," as well as Mussida's gentle acoustic guitar lines on slower numbers like "Harlequin." The weak point, as in some of PFM's other productions, is in the vocals…

Premiata Forneria Marconi's third Italian album (their fourth if one counts the 1973 release Photos of Ghosts, the English version of Per un Amico) came out shortly before ELP's Manticore imprint released its English version under the title The World Became the World…

2010 release from the Italian Prog legends. To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the release of their album La Buona Novella, PFM has decided to revisit the album they had made in collaboration with Fabrizio de Andre'. La Buona Novella a.a. 2010 does not only contain new arrangements but also new music written specially for this occasion…
