My Rating: 9,5/10 PA Rating: 5/5

Lately every artist/ band that I proposed and that then was included in PA I appraised it with 5 stars. Gianni D'Errico doesn't escape at this law because does it produce a really attractive "Concept album". Published posthumous in 1976 "Antico Teatro Da Camera" is a very good Song songwriter Symphonic Prog, one of the most difficult for themes treated. The beginning (and the end) of the album are occupied from "L'Etrusca", dark song with thunder, flashes, rain and harpsichord with very dark chorus. The second song "Antico Teatro Da Camera" ("Ancient Theater From Room") speaks of the homosexuality of an adolescent (in first person) that growing it understands that also the it be different it is source of enrichment. The music is a really good Rock with Synth guitar but distorted and synth with harpsichord and Beat chorus. The result is a symphonic drama really exciting. "Reincarnazione" ("Reincarnation") is a really sweet Rock with dramatic lyrics. Here they are the connections between the persons to come analyzed. In this case is the request of the conversation that it not itself to the word should stop but to involve the feelings and the memories. And it returns overbearingly the request of the protagonist (that is homosexual) of not to stop itself to the appearance of the persons. Thing that we find in "Io, L'Ultimo" (I, The Last"), Where the protagonist of the story denounces to to be left in apart from the society. Also in "Io, L'Ultimo" hits the music that is dramatically sweet but very powerful. "Clausura" ("Strict Enclosure") sees the protagonist revolt ask to its conscience. Nevertheless it didn't succeed to give a reply and puts it to the presence of the raw reality. "Who am I?"... A person like a lot. Why all they believe themselves superior to the other and instead they are equal to all? Why the love has like counter-item the solitude? They aren'teasy answered. And in fact the protagonist It asks the reply in front to a statue of Maria. But a statue doesn't answer! And the insertion of the orchestra increases the drama of the requests. "Toccami" ("Touches me"), so, it becomes one of the better moments of the album. In "Delvish" the protagonist is sold to the devil, even if the belief in God will not die ever. "Delvish" is the song more Prog of the album but, also, the song aged more badly in "Antico Teatro Da Camera". Nevertheless the light is able to be us. Rosanna, the mother of the protagonist should be been a model of life for the protagonist. That, nevertheless it the love becomes done not correspond some protagonist, make suffer its heart.The lyrics, the distorted guitar, the synths and a very power drums They describe a shapely woman, attractive but really severe, in a position of to electrocute you with the look. And, with its death, the beginning of the problems of connection with the humanity of the protagonist. That "Sognando Rosanna"("Dreamy Rosanna") hung to "Un Pittore" ("A Painter") That like Van Gogh was left in apart. But that it knows that a day will be able to ransom itself.

Still present in the contents (it is in the lyrics that in the music) and aged extreme very well, "Antico teatro Da Camera" should make reflect all we. Because the society, after thirty years is, if we want, still worst.
