Xavier Casellas: Yesterday's Sun
In questo caso, però, faccio volentieri un'eccezione. Innanzitutto perché la scelta dei brani non è affatto scontata. E poi perché i musicisti non svolgono un semplice ruolo di sostegno alla voce del leader, ma suonano come in un album strumentale. Ovvero, gli arrangiamenti mostrano un vero lavoro di re-interpretazione dei brani che, come è giusto che avvenga, a tratti diventa quasi di ri-scrittura.
Certo, a tratti la musica diventa poi oleografica ed estetizzante, ma l'atmosfera generale dell'album è più che buona.
