Art Rock Show – Corde Oblique – Cries And Whispers (Week 13)

Corde Oblique is een van de belangrijkste etherische progressieve neofolk bands uit Italië. Het is het soloproject van Riccardo Prencipe (componist, kunsthistoricus) met vocale bijdragen van talrijke zangeressen en actrices.

Prog Archives review: “Finally Napoli’s Prog Folk guitar virtuoso and master composer, Riccardo Prencipe is committing to “the dark side,” that is, music with a fully-electrified sound palette. The good news is that it works! Riccardo masterfully blends his classical folk foundations with the newer metallic rock palettes with perfection and power (and, as usual, pristine sound engineering).

Retaining his favored Rita Saviano behind the vocal microphone, we also have the participation of several of Riccardo’s long-time collaborators, most notably, violinist Edo Notarloberti, Umberto Lepore on basses, Alessio Sica on drums, Luigi Rubino on keyboards, and Michele Maione on percussion. (…)

Whereas on previous albums Riccardo had often turned to British Post-Metal rockers Anathema for inspiration–and songs to cover–here his borrowing comes from French Black Metal band Alcest’s 2007 debut album as well as fellow guitar virtuoso and Catalonian legend, Francisco Tarrega (who died in 1909).”

Naast Corde Oblique (Cries And Whispers), Wardruna (Kvitravn), The Moon and the Nightspirit (Metanoia ), Elend (Sunwar the Dead) , Anathema (A Fine Day to Exit) & Dead Can Dance (Toward the Within).
