Fairport Convention, The Five Seasons,
LP UK New Routes 1990 - RUE 005
The nineties begin and the
five musicians that make up the group do not give up and, having now
reached a notable harmony, do not cease to amaze. The "traditional
arrangements" that make up this new album ("Claudy banks", "The Card
song" and "Shuffle the pack") are certainly good quality songs. In
addition to them, it is worth mentioning "Gold" by Peter Blegvad and,
for those who have purchased the CD, the splendid bonus track entitled
"Caught a whisper". The original cover is very fairy-tale-like.
Iniziano
gli anni novanta e i
cinque alfieri che compongono il gruppo non demordono e, raggiunto
ormai un notevole affiatamento, non finiscono di stupire. I
"tradizionali arrangiati" che compongono questo nuovo disco ("Claudy
banks", "The Card song" e "Shuffle the pack") sono senz'altro brani di
buon livello. Oltre a essi vale la pena di segnalare "Gold" di Peter
Blegvad e, per chi avesse acquistato il cd, la splendida bonus track
dal titolo "Caught a whisper". La copertina originale è
molto fiabesca.
