5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific!, December 28, 1999

This album is not quite as flawless as the other PFM release of 1972, Per Un Amico, in that the final cut, Grazie Davvero, contains some of the cheesiest horns commited to vinyl. That is the one flaw of the entire recording however. The rest of the compositions are among PFM's finest. This disc presents a brilliant marriage of chamber music and rock that results in compositions of great beauty. Where the vocals are in Italian it only adds to the romantic feel of the music rather than detract from overall enjoynment. This band was among the elite of the genre and this recording among their best. Highly recommended...Simon

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing debut by PFM, May 26, 1999

Few bands achieve this level of beauty and musicianship on a debut album. First released in 1972 in Italy, Storia di un Minuto proved that Italians could beat British progressive bands at their own game. This album and Per un Amico are essential for anyone discovering Premiata Forneria Marconi, the best Italian band ever.

with Banco Mutuo del Soccorso, Premiata Forneria Marconi's music bears no resemblance to BMS neither in style nor in contents, both groups are completely different, the only thing in common is their mother tongue. While Banco's music has a very distinct Italian flavor, PFM sounds more like a British band. Also Banco's music is much more complex compositionally.

The first track, Introduzione, makes a good introduction indeed, progressing from a whisper to a full crescendo. Impressioni Di Settembre is an excellent track, E Festa is OK. The remaining tracks are nothing special, the celebrated Dove Quando inclusive.
