La miglior Italia degli anni 1970, July 28, 2005
This review is from: Che Cosa Sei (Mlps) (Audio CD)
Alberto Radius was and is one the best guitarist in the world. "Che cosa sei" (What are you) was released in 1977, at a time when the destiny of the Italian Republic was uncertain because of a full blown terrorist campaign against the State. The lyrics and the tone of the composition reflects this somber mood. One song starts :"Mi sveglio e mi tocco la faccia, per oggi e' rimasta al suo posto" (I wake and I stroke my face, for today it is still in its place). The acoustic guitar is skillfully played with respect to the complex harmonic structure of the chords and surprisingly for the time and for an Italian recording, exceptionally well captured.
Considering the recent sad events all over the world, this masterwork of Radius might still be in tune with our times.
