Post Description

Italian folksy neo-prog influenced by the English scene bands. The band's name is named after a musical piece by Carulli, a XIX-century Italian composer. The band uses lots of acoustic guitar, which makes the neo sound very mellow. Notturno Concertante is a project by Lucio Lazzaruolo (piano, synths, classical guitar) and Raffaele Villanova (guitars, vocals). The music is nothing special but some neo-prog listeners might enjoy this. There is really not much variation to keep things interesting so it turns out dull rather fast. The male and female vocals are in English and not very good. If you want to check this band with a less prominent neo sound you could try the more folksy album Riscrivere il Passato (***) from 2002.
Conclusion: Recommended only for enthusiastic neo-prog fans.
