“20 Years – Alive and Well” is the live album recorded in the Roz Vitalis 20th anniversary concert. This concert was organized in Saint Petersburg (November 27, 2021) by this band and Sergey Gorchaninov (organizer of both the Prog Festival titled Babooinumfest and the band OT&DO). Many compositions here are reworked on the base of new sound and new treatment. Furthermore, the important contributions are provided by guest appearance of Yury Khomonenko (percussion) who was the official member of Roz Vitalis in 2011-2013 and AndRey Stefinoff (clarinet) who played with the band for the first time. Thus, most of the pieces on the album are performed by “the progressive rock septet” including, of course, also contemporary "regular office staff": Ruslan Kirillov (bass), Vladislav Korotkikh (flute), Ivan Rozmainsky (conception, keyboards), Vladiir Semenov-Tyan-Shansky (guitars), and Evgeny Trefilov (drums) . It should also be mentioned that five compositions were performed on drums by Philip Semenov; he was the band's first official drummer (from 2008 to 2018).
This release sums up many Roz Vitalis' achievements in 20 years of existence including 13 years of existence as a regularly performing live avant/sympho/prog-rock band. The album includes both “classics” of Roz Vitalis and newest stuff. Some compositions are characterized by long history; such ones as Ascension Dream, Annihilator of Moral Hazard, Patience of Hope, Mother of All Rain exist for about or more than 10 years. On the other hand, two compositions – Recovery and For My Love They Are My Adversaries – were performed for the first time at this concert. And, of course, the most popular and latest studio album to date “The Hidden Man of the Heart” was presented – by four “hits” such as Blurred, Passing Over, Thou Shalt Tread upon the Lion and Adder and Jungle Waltz.
Among other tracks you can find newest single Se Camminiamo Nella Luce based on straight lines, and the intricate Walking and Escaping from Myself that have not yet studio incarnation, including fragments with complex odd time signatures. The album opener also has no studio incarnation. It is a composition called Daybreaking, the title track of “Daybreaking Live” release (2020), perhaps, the most famous concert release of the band. The album ends with the rarely performed composition Ending, which also ends the penultimate studio album “Lavoro d’Amore” (2015) and the live release “Live in Kirishi” (2016).
The musicians hope that this release creates new page in the Roz Vitalis’ life! If you are not familiar with Roz Vitalis yet, then it is from this live album that you can start a successful and fruitful acquaintance with the band! It is FREE for downloading! The band will appreciate various forms of feedback!
