After his experience with Nickelodeon, an ecleptyc avant-garde and theatrical jazz band from Italy, Claudio has been able to let his great talent emerge- not only as a versatile musician- but also as an exceptional explorer of all the stage possibilities (above all talking about the coreographic and dramatic aspects of the scene). Moreover the fine lyrics in Italian by Erna Franssens make this album so "desirable" for all the lovers of drama theatre!! Of course the complementary improvisational music, sometimes chaotic, in other circumstances well structured, is an example of a fine combination between progressive music and theatre, as long as the intelligent "catharsis" let our senses calm!! This is the specific case of "L'Oracolo di Delfi", but you can note all these features in the title track as well, where the vocal skill is characterized by such an interesting excursion by Claudio into the the lowest and the highest notes and it's never an end in itself. As a matter of fact there's a clever interplay with the sax, with his purpose to change colour to the composition, from the melodic "incipit" to the darkest tones, which is the speciality regarding all the Claudio's best music projects a-la Nickelodeon...the present work after all is well worth checking out, at least,for whom is not in the habit with this intelligent avant-garde music!! So I hope to find other reviews in the web, regarding all the works by Claudio!
