product info

Recorded and mixed by Bruno Sanfilippo at Osiris Studio, Buenos Aires, from January to February 1997. All music composed, arranged, produced and performed by Bruno Sanfilippo. An exciting exploration of innovative musical landscapes. Your solitary work, a gentle but intense experience, a more lineal album with regard to the previous ones, of a solemn, epic climate.

review

In "Solemnis" the climate get closer to classical music, with certain gothic features, suggestive melodies, harmony and drama. The crescendos in pieces like "Decorated Souls", "Encounter with the Owl" or the marvellous and beautiful "Solemnis" show a majestic epic climate, of extraordinary melodic power. This is a record to listen to once and again, full of magic and depth; its beauty is rarely seen in the latest Argentine independent production 1998. Andrés Valle / Mellotron Magazine #21

review

Solemnis is the latest work by Bruno Sanfilippo. It is a little different from the previous ones, but as always we have a precious collection of melodic instrumental pieces heavily influenced by classical music. The style is very orchestral, and this time, a little dark. It also shows some traits from World Music. Sanfilippo uses electronic instruments: he is certainly a lover of electronics and the most advanced technology who knows how to give us a wide range of melodic themes, pleasant to listen to, and even most enjoyable indeed.
