***********

The title could be deceptive, and also the list of eleven songs that follow the additive numbering system: Lanfranco Malaguti struck by various panoramas that inspired him musically. None of this, because the nineteenth work of the Roman guitarist is inspired by the painting of Renato Maurizio, architect who summarized the eleven landscapes on canvas (all present in the internal booklet) whose sound description is entrusted to this record, written by four hands. by the leader and Luca Colussi.
Lanfranco Malaguti, born in 1949, does not need many presentations given his palmarès and his substantial discography that starts from 1984 with Orsa Minore and extends into a repertoire that is always varied and rich in important collaborations. Panorami outlines a path made up of explorations, concerted on fiery and at times angry gusts of avant-garde mold, which give way to more velvety tones, but always careful not to get lost in the obvious. Poised geometries kept at the right pace by Colussi's mighty drive that give Massimo De Mattia and Nicola Fazzini ease to be able to go down foil with perfect tranquility, drawing what Renato Maurizio's brush has represented graphically. But it is Malaguti who makes clear that right concern through complex sentences, well constructed, playing on the counter-time and also alienating the score. Paradigms that jump, note after note and emphasize the fact that the quartet is at heart, without any smudging. Undoubtedly, a record to be listened to very carefully, which at first ear might be difficult, but whose key to understanding lies in the works that inspired it.
