CANTO DI PRIMAVERA

"Canto di primavera" was the last album by Banco del Mutuo Soccorso in the seventies and I'd dare to say it was their last Progressive Rock album until "Transiberiana" came out forty years later (this is considering only the official studio albums). The album is filled with very sensual and calm melodies through which Francesco Di Giacomo goes singing with very calm energy but still with a lot of passion. Jazzy, symphonic, folky, and almost ambient is how I'd describe this record; the title track "Canto di Primavera" is also my favorite: it brings back the softness and delicacy of "Non mi rompete" but with more presence of keyboards, bass, and subtle percussions. Another nice track is "Sono la bestia" which includes great wind instrument ornaments and great rock patterns; however, the energetic rock is almost inexistent on this record, this is entirely a soft relaxing record with excellent acoustic passages here and there keeping the Mediterranean folky style they had. As a closing number to the Progressive Rock era of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, "Canto di primavera" worked as a mixture of the softness and more elegant elements they were developing through their entire discography until the launching of this record. This is probably not one of their greatest records, but it is absolutely a very nice and entertaining one.
