Hybrid SACD!
This album is part of the recordings made on the occasion of the concerts of the first edition of the fonè Music Festival Piaggio 2019. The concerts organized by Giulio Cesare Ricci were held at the Piaggio Auditorium located inside the famous Museum in Pontedera, the place where Piaggio was born and where it still continues to produce today.
Inside the museum every year the public from all over the world can admire the Piaggio production made over the years, all the models of the Vespe and Ape, all the Aprilia, Gilera and Moto Guzzi motorcycles that have won national and international awards over time.
For each recording Giulio Cesare Ricci brought all his equipment, both analog (Ampex ATR 102 Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351-1965, 2 tracks, 1/2 inch, 30ips modified by David Manley) and digital (Pyramix Recorder, dCS A/D and D/A converters). As for the microphones, he used his original collection of Neumann U47, U48, M49 in addition to the mike pre-amplifier and Signoricci cables. This is because Giulio Cesare Ricci has always made two Masters for each recording: analog master for Vinyl and digital master DSD for SuperAudioCD.
Also for this recording he used a "field effect" recording technique, natural sound, without the use of equalizers, no sound expansion and compression systems..... all this to bring the listener to live again in his home hifi system, the live effect as if he were present at the concert.
After the success of the Duettango album, Filippo Arlia on piano and Cesare Chiacchiaretta on bandoneon again in the fonè catalog with an album recorded live by Giulio Cesare Ricci on the occasion of the fonè Music Festival Piaggio 2019.
The album Non Solo Tango live opens with a very emotional piece, it is the soundtrack of the film Il Postino written by the late Luis Bacalov. In addition to songs that are part of the great repertoire of Astor Piazzolla not present in the previous album Duettango, in particular "Vuelvo Al Sur", "Ave Maria", "Milonga Sin Palabras" and "Libertango", to underline also the beauty of "Por Una Cabeza" by Carlos Gardel. The album ends with the encore of the concert with "The Pink Panther" by Henry Mancini entering into the Pink Panther collection that Giulio Cesare Ricci has been recording in these years.
An album of great emotion, great technique, masterful the piano-bandoneon duo. Great realism, great dynamics, great music ... an album not to be missed!!
Each listener, closing his eyes, will be able to relive the emotion of the live set as if he were present at the exhibition of this great artist.
