Review by kenethlevine
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog-Folk Team

One of my favorite tracks by RICCARDO PRENCIPE's next project CORDE OBLIQUE is on their second album "Volonte D'Arte". It's called "Cuma", a dramatic over the top operatic piece (even as these things go) sung by soprano Claudia Florio, who graces almost every track on this, the second and final album by LUPERCALIA, a mere 3 years before. It boosted my ego to know that I could enjoy this type of music to such a degree, and even more when fellow folkie-sans-proggy friends broke it to me that they were, to put it kindly, lukewarm towards it. Nowhere did I state that I wanted an album of Cumas though, and while that isn't quite what we have on "Florilegium", it's more than I ever asked for.

Claudia sings like an angel with some combination of TB and an undiagnosed psychosis, and enough of Prencipe's other wonderful predilections surface here. These include powerful multifaceted pieces like "Tribe", "Sub Specie Aeternitatis", and the Celtic rouser "Pilgrim's Chant", and since I've been advised by an associate of superior eclectic taste that the reworkings of the "Mediestetica" demos, wisely disseminated here, are far better than the originals, I have no trouble scattering 3 stars of flower petals on this posthumous review.
