<< -- 3 -- Keith Bramich Beautiful and convincing
Two tracks are from Fiume di Musica (River of Music), a
'wandering concert on the Tiber' produced by Milesi and Daniele Abbado for
the opening of the 1993 Roma Europa Festival. In Volta Riflessi [listen -- track 2, 2:52-3:55], three boats move gently
upstream, the river bridges providing natural boundaries between and barriers
for the different sonorities, which range from church bells, tarantella
and African rhythms to fireworks. A beautiful concept, this, working well,
aurally.
Fuochi sul Tevere from the same festival is the most up-beat piece
on the disc -- synthesised music and sound effects bordering on pop.
Rather scanty booklet information, but nicely presented.
