Recensione: Recorded in 1992, remastered by Giuseppe Scaravilli in 2009. This is, if possible, an even greater masterpiece than MALIBRAN's debut album "The Wood of Tales" (1990). Here you can find all the elements from the debut: the wonderful flute playing, the majestic keyboards, the nice guitar work and the saxophone, an instrument not often heard in progressive rock. MALIBRAN has a great 70's symphonic sound with reminiscences to other great Italian bands such as IL BALLETTO DI BRONZO, BIGLIETTO PER L'INFERNO, CELESTE, FINISTERRE, I GIGANTI, MARY NEWSLETTER, MAXOPHONE, METAMORFOSI, MUSEO ROSENBACH, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI, IL ROVESCIO DELLA MEDAGLIA and STANDARTE. The title track is a 27 minutes classic masterpiece. This album is perhaps the best Italian album in the 90's. NOW the MALIBRAN release a NEW version of "LE PORTE DEL SILENZIO" remastered by Giuseppe SCARAVILLI in 2009 with a new sound and with 3 BONUS TRACKS: "Livin' alone" (live 1993), "Nel labirinto" (live 1990), "I know your soul" (live 1991) plus "Work in studio" an interesting track with the voices of the musicians during the recording sessions of the album. Highly recommended! |
