Roberto Cacciapaglia - Incontri con l'anima (2005)

There is something elusive in us. A breath. It 'something elusive, indefinite, "airplane". Difficult to meet him. And 'necessary to start, walking inland perilous and rough, take your own Calvary, and down to the grave to return reborn. And 'our soul, before which a sensitive musician and superfine can be in moments of sublime inspiration.

"Meetings with the soul" could only be a disc of Lady GaGa. A 30 years to the day after the onset of "SONANZE" - too often hailed as "kosmische muzik" Italian style, rather close to the dynamics of classical music of the '900 - and two years since the last album "Tempus fugit", the Milanese composer publishes a new lp dense and light, vibrant and ethereal.
A meeting with the Holy Scriptures, from the Bible to the Vedanta; a blend in the inner soul of this literature; a guided tour by the author piano, accompanied by a first-rate ensemble from which stand out three excellent vocalist (Nuria Rial, Letizia Calandra Brumat and Dora Carofiglio) that embellish moments of grace as "hour" and the superb "Michael Angelus Pacis ". Comes from the Vedas Mantramanjari, "Daughter of Heaven" is one of the most illuminating of the disc.

Instrumental songs like "New Life" and "The jump of the angel" still reflect a minimalist style and reach essentiality where everything is in the right place, at the right time. The levity - that is joy - the "Atlantic", the heavenly dimension of "Mind radiant." Surprising as a composer so active - we think of his numerous productions and soundtracks - can convey so strongly peace but also suspension, as in closing with "The disappearance of Jupiter", which uses a thin electronic watermark.

A sense of the sacred, which is the mystery and depth, soul this album. Cacciapaglia it does cantor, with sensitivity and passion. "Meetings with the soul" is one of the best releases of 2005 Italian.
