Lamomali il Neige à Bamako

After the two back-to-back albums,it was time for Nuova Era to focus more on their live appearances. So for about two years they gave many shows,before they entered again the studio to record their third album.
The band decided to follow the same structure as with ''Dopo l'infinito'', this means the album contains two long Symphonic Rock suites, clocking at 18 and 24-min. respectively. Musically nothing has changed. Both compositions contain a great number of sudden breaks, complex themes, virtuosic keyboard work and intense vocals. The music again is mostly based on Walter Pini's great skills on organs and synths: Baroque-influenced parts, intricate solos, marching synthesizers and background fillings for the guitars, along with some light piano interludes…

François Campion est généralement considéré comme le plus important guitariste baroque français après Robert de Visée. Il succède à Maltot comme guitariste et théorbiste dans l'orchestre de l'Académie royale de Musique de 1703 ou 1704 à 1719. Maltot lui transmet la règle de l'octave qu'il consignera plus tard dans son Traité d'Accompagnement (1716). Il reçoit alors le titre Maître de guitare et de théorbe à l'Académie royale de Musique de la part du roi Louis XIV (on pense qu'il a bénéficié la protection du duc de Noailles). Il utilise des tablatures, très courantes à cette époque, pour l'écriture de ses pièces pour guitare. Il emploie 8 accords. On considère ses compositions comme claires et riches en modulations et développant le jeu de l'instrument.

The cantata da camera genre enjoyed its Golden Era in the early eighteenth century in Italy, mainly in Rome, through the auspices of employers as Cardinals Ottoboni and Pamphiliij and the Marquis Ruspoli, who organized several Accademie in their homes, weekly meetings in which music, poetry and discussions about art or philosophy attracted the most important nobles of the city. The most distinguished of these Accademie saw the presence of the great composers of the time: the newcomer Handel, Alessandro Scarlatti, Gasparini, instrumentalists as Arcangelo Corelli and Domenico, the son of Alessandro Scarlatti …

Lovers of Il trovatore a work famous for its perennially popular cavatinas and cabalettas rightly expect the singers to be at the very top of their vocal game and particularly look forward to the top C at the end of Manrico s stretta, a true do di petto produced not from the head but from the chest. Yet the production of the work that was staged at the end of 2013 by the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin jointly run by Daniel Barenboim and Jürgen Flimm deliberately flouted these expectations and traded familiarity for astonishment. Such a reaction was due not only to the two most famous singers of our age, both of whom were appearing onstage for the first time in their respective roles, but also to the company s music director, who made it abundantly clear that he was concerned with more than just a feast for the ears and rousing rum-ti-tum rhythms.
