DICONO DI ME...

 

Da anni lo “show business”, o per meglio dire il c.d. “mainstream rock”, non offre occasioni di puro divertimento musicale. Non c’è più l’invenzione, la ricerca, la novità e quant’altro di innovativo. Si va avanti a prodotti preconfezionati privi di quella propensione naturale al fare musica. Ecco perché accolgo con favore il CD dei Barock Project, gruppo progressive italiano. Lungo gli undici brani che compongono “Misteriosevoci” i Barock Project dipingono un affascinante affresco di sonorità che fondono elegantemente la musica barocca e il rock progressivo degli anni settanta. Non potete immaginare la magnificenza del loro sound dove la musica parla, eccome! C’è uno sfoggio di “musicianship” folgorante, ma, allo stesso tempo, diretta ed efficace. Pura arte.

Luca Zabbini, virtuose du clavier et déjà auteur d'un concerto pour piano et saxophone entre autres choses
Il est relativement rare de recevoir des albums en italien, le dernier dont je me souvienne étant Arpia qui était une agréable surprise. Il en va de même ici avec une formation jeune mais néanmoins très mature musicalement. Le son tire vers Emerson, Lake & Palmer
MUSIC IN BELGIUM , Belgio

 

Le groupe, emmené par  Luca Zabbini , claviériste virtuose,
a su trouver son style avec une modernité mêlée de classicisme,
cela se traduit par un lyrisme classisant de tous les instants mais
qui se pare parfois de séquences plus rugueuses et modernes,
avec des claviers dominants, d'une grande sensibilité et quelques
belles parties de guitare, sans oublier une section rythmique
puissante et un chanteur expressif à souhait.
L'Italie, un grand vivier de talent !!!!
PASSION PROGRESSIVE , Francia

 

The music I am talking about comes from the band's keyboardist and composer, Luca Zabbini, who has songwriting style that can only improve with age (the average age in this band is something like 24 years old) and technique and chops that would smother a mere mortal. Zabbini is a master at producing impressive layers of keys and is just as good at kicking out blistering organ solos and sensitive and fluid unaccompanied piano passages
Misteriosevoci is the debut disc from The Barock Project, a band that has all the potential in the world. Rarely does a young band put out such a mature and sophisticated initial recording, but The Barock Project is no ordinary band of proggers.
Nevertheless, I am completely confident in calling this the best new band and the best debut disc of 2007 .
PROGRESSIVE WORLD , U.S.A.

 

Here’s one more stunning surprise out from Italy – Barock Project is the band name, and this is its first outgrowth. Hopefully there will be lots of others from this moment forth. Barock Project is a brain-child of the keyboardist "Luca Zabbini", who has been taking ELP as his main source of inspiration ever since.
This album is highly recommended!... 
PROGRESSIVE ROCK , Brasile

 

The band strongly revolves around keyboard wizard Luca Zabbini, and his use and command of the multi-arrays of keyboards is impressive - and one that recalls the leading protagonists of early 70s prog. His touch on the piano is very reminiscent of Keith Emerson, as well as the choice of sounds he employs. He is also instrumental for the writing of all the material on this DVD (barring the bass/drum solos and those written by ELP and Genesis).
