Progressive rock from Italy - RPI

Rock Progressivo Italiano

Du trodde kanskje ikke biblioteket skulle ha en samling med progressiv rock fra Italia?

"So it's an established fact that in Italy during the period between 1971-1974, a music movement existed where bands would challenge each other to see who could be the most imaginative, who could create the album for the ages. They were all painters and sculptors just as in Renaissance Italy." -Tom Hayes/Gnosis

Det landet i Europa som progressiv rock virkelig fikk et stort publikum var Italia. Det finnes utrolig mange gode grupper som aldri fikk noen større oppmerksomhet utenfor Italia. Mange lagde kun en LP og forsvant siden, men grupper som PFM, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Osanna, Il Balletto di Bronzo og Quella Vecchia Locanda hadde en lengre karriere og fikk større suksess enn de fleste. Den Italienske progressive rocken tok ofte utgangspunkt i den klassiske musikken, samtidig som jazzrocken aldri var langt unna.

Fra det klassiske kombinerer de det barokke med romantisk opera- og operetteelementer. Sangen er ofte sentral og kombinasjonen fløyte, piano og fiolin skaper kontrast til de elektriske rockeelementene som ofte kan beskrives som en blanding av Van der Graaf Generator og Jethro Tull. Men det er ingen oppskrift på RPI (Rock Progressivo Italiano) da det finnes utrolig mange forskjellige band med vidt forskjellige uttrykk.

"Progressive is basically a blending of three elements: the song, the improvisation inspired by jazz and the composition in classical style. This cocktail is interpreted in different ways in every country: in England, for instance, Celtic, rock and blues influences prevail. In Italy we have to cope with our classical tradition: the melodramma, Respighi, Puccini, Mascagni but also all the contemporary classical composers. It's in this legacy, in my opinion, that the specificity of the Italian Progressive Rock is concealed." -Franco Mussida, PFM
