Ulf Backstrøm 2022-01-13

Italian is in my ears a beautiful language so we can tolerate a small dose of Italian as an introduction!!!!!!

Tony Pagliuca bussa delicatamente alle porte della nostra anima. Ci invita a seguirlo nel labirinto della ricerca interiore. Ci precede lungo il sentiero e dosando le più evocative sonorità,da sapiente compositore qual è, ci conduce a contemplare la Rosa Mystica.nb Il risultato è un album da ascoltare e da guardare, per lasciarsi rapire da suoni che si tuffano nell’espressione grafica e immagini che si librano a cercare l’intimo intreccio con la musica. OndemediE ha ideato e realizzato la grafica di questo piccolo gioiello, riassunta in questo video illustrativo.

Tony Pagliuca gently knocks at the gates of our soul. He invites us to follow him into the labyrinth of inner research. He precedes us along the path and dosing the most evocative sounds, as a wise composer as he is, he leads us to contemplate the Rosa Mystica. The result is an album to listen to and watch, to be captivated by sounds that plunge into the graphic expression and images that soar to seek the intimate intertwining with music. OndemediE has designed and created the graphics of this little gem, summarized in this illustrative video.

Antonio Tony Pagliuca needs no introduction: a respectable artistic curriculum has accompanied him since 1968, the year in which he permanently joins Le Orme group as keyboard player and in some way conditions the transition from beat to progressive, contributing in an essential way to compose and of course perform unforgettable masterpieces such as Collage, Uomo Di Pezza, Felona And Sorona and all the albums to follow up to Orme in 1990.

It is from the same year that Tony Pagiluca begins a solo career that starts from the album Lo Chiedo and arrives today and presents, as a personal and interior research path, the album Rosa Mystica, or the transposition into music, thanks to the collaboration of the late Maestro Vittore Ussardi, of the Joyful Mysteries Of the Rosary .

The originality of the music is further represented by the skillful use of vocal that sees protagonists Elisabetta Montino, historical voice of the progressive group Quanah Parker and Andrea Saccoman. Complete the list of musicians, as well as Tony Pagliuca on keyboards, Giuseppe Vio (guitars), Alberto Pagliuca (ukulele) and Paolo Vianello (Drums).

The CD is presented in an elegant cardboard box, designed and created by OndemediE, with a booklet embellished with works made in pencil by the Roman artist Beatrice Cignitti.

Produced by Tony Pagliuca, made by Vannuccio Zanella for M.P. & Records, the CD is distributed by G.T. Music Distribution of Antonino Destra.
