RICK WAKEMAN & MARIO FASCIANO: STELLA BIANCA ALLA CORTE DI RE FERDINANDO

A very short but highly enjoyable Wakeman album. It's main flaw is the linear and dull electronic drumming. Other than that, this is a great melodic album with nice keyboard embellishments. It's title track gives a perfect imagery of the renaissance with the harpsichord work and the style of singing. The last song of the album is a cover of Wakeman's Ocean City, and I find this version even better than the original. All the other songs are decent melodic songs consistent in quality

Highlights : Stella Bianca, Carcere 'e San Francisco, Romance Napoli Letdowns : none

My Grade : C
