 The
title of this years Antonio Forcione show 'Tears of Joy' is quite
apt in that, that was exactly how I felt at seeing the concert.
The
previous 24 hours had been hell and I wasn’t really up for
reviewing a show I'd have to concentrate too much for. Having been
to one of his solo concerts before I knew roughly what to expect.
Antonio
is joined on stage by four other musicians a cellist, an accordion
player, a double-bassist and a percussionist. The resulting
variety of music was an absolute pleasure to listen to. If the
mood took you the show would have been as enjoyable listening to
the pictures painted by the sounds.
However
Adriano the percussionist was also fascinating to watch, it is
amazing the items he uses to make interesting sounds. He also did
a short choral piece using the audience.
An
excellent, exciting, exhilarating, musical experience.
