ORPHEUS

Reverie

Prog Folk

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Another concept album from this Italian ethno-progressive combo, loosely based on some Sonnets to Orpheus by Rainer Maria Rilke. Detailed description and lyrics (in Italian) in the beautiful booklet. The music is intimistic (no drums), but all the tracks build a crescendo from the first classical-guitar-solo piece to the almost symphonic finale. Several layers of guitar sounds in the wake of Fripp and Oldfield create the basis for the expressive female voice. A softer side of the Rock Progressivo Italiano. I think that lovers of Italian language sung by beautiful female voices and lovers of Oldfield's, Fripp's and McKennitt's most lyrical moments will appreciate this album the most. Warmly recommended!
