Aldo Pinelli : Mantos y Tapices Sobrepuestos (ARG,2010)***°
- otra selección de viejas canciones-
This last work of guitarist Aldo Pinelli continues where he left before with a bigger collection of ideas based upon tunes and old music compositions (with an occasional song). One time they sound more like classical baroque, then more in the vein of Anthony Phillips (post-Genesis), then like old music tunes with sparse arrangements of cello and flute or harpischord. But there are really too many sorts of changing excursions to be able to categorise them too much. Compared to the previous album there’s a better balance between the solos and sparse arrangements, and luckily also that most arrangements are more acoustic and are less compensated with keyboards for the real chamber instruments, except for the last three tracks. The musical conceptual idea hangs between a lightly walking journey into classical tunes and different melodic worlds with guitar-based chamber-like but at times also a few neo-symphonic touches. The best album of Pinelli so far! Very enjoyable!
