PER UN AMICO

Per Un Amico is not only the greatest Italian Symphonic Album, it may be the greatest album period. It is certainly in my top 5. It hit me just the right way, and I loved it the first time I heard it, and that love only grows stronger. It's beautiful as background music, or for the deeper listening experience. It also feels complete, as if I just truly had a music listening experience and now I can go do something else. Remarkable. L'Isola Di Niente also gets five stars from me, and is also highly recommended. I don't like Storia Di Un Minuto as much, but I still give it four stars, whereas the US releases are more likely worth 3 stars.
