Nascita Della Sfera Per Una Scultura Di Ceschia lp

lp
2006/1977

Italian composer trying to make a tribute to a local sculptor hires a bunch of prog musicians, including 5 singers, in the middle of the 70s. Though a sure recipie for some sort of operatic fetidity, what you get instead is some short tracks of people plunking on the insides a piano, a guy doing a duck impression over a dulcet acoustic guitar strum, little taped vignettes that sound like chamber music heard through a tv in another room. The record just seems to eavesdrop on the middles of things and then fade off & move on, giving the whole an elegant, almost Felliniesque feel.
