This very prospective fifth work of the exquisite Italian band Il Castello Di Atlante it is a true delight for the hearings...

“Quintessenza” it is a true summary of the best symphonic rock coming from one of the countries but influential in this I generate. A plethoric disc of beautiful harmonies and melodies, with many moments of extraordinary brightness where each instrument is interpreted masterfully by these formidable musicians and for mainly, an overflowing disc of pure and absolute magic.
Their best production so far? Yes, without any type of doubts.

It is difficult to say that it is the best in this album. Surely many will find in “Non Puoi Fingere”, the initial track, their higher point thanks to the exquisite combination of instrumental virtuosity and interpretive sensibility, but it would be being unjust with the rest of the compositions.
“Quintessenze” it is an album to which should be taken almost like a conceptual work, where each one on their behalves it depends on the rest so that the entirety of its spirit is captured.

The very taken care production in charge of Beppe Crovella (Arti e Mestieri) complete a great absolutely advisable disc, ideal for the lovers of the symphonic classic of the 70s.
