New Trolls, è di nuovo rock e barocco<br />

Once Again Rock and Baroque Max Morales<br />

Quarant’anni dopo l’esordio<br />

internazionale dei New Trolls<br />

che, con il loro primo Concerto<br />

Grosso, si fecero conoscere come<br />

la più evoluta prog-rock band<br />

italiana, questi quattro genovesi<br />

eccellenti propongono oggi un<br />

terzo atto del lavoro iniziato nei<br />

primi anni ’70. Vittorio De Scalzi,<br />

Nico Di Palo, Giorgio D’Adamo e<br />

Gianni Bellino, dopo aver<br />

rifondato l’anno scorso la band<br />

originaria, hanno creato il<br />

Concerto Grosso N.3 che, unito<br />

ad altri tre inediti, ha costituito<br />

un disco, uscito per Aerostella e<br />

che sarà distribuito a livello<br />

internazionale. Il lavoro,<br />

presentato in anteprima al Teatro<br />

lirico di Genova in maggio<br />

insieme al Maestro Luis Bacalov<br />

(artista straordinario che aveva<br />

già collaborato con i New Trolls)<br />

all’orchestra del Teatro Carlo<br />

Felice, è unico per intensità e<br />

Forty years have passed since<br />

New Trolls made their<br />

international debut at their first big<br />

concert, Concerto Grosso, which<br />

founded their reputation as the<br />

most evolved Italian prog-rock<br />

band. These four excellent Genoese<br />

musicians—Vittorio De Scalzi, Nico<br />

Di Palo, Giorgio D’Adamo, and<br />

Gianni Bellino—are now proposing<br />

a third act to the work that began<br />

in the early seventies. Re-creating<br />

the original band, they have<br />

composed Concerto Grosso N.3,<br />

which, when joined by other three<br />

unpublished works, is now the basis<br />

for their new record, made by<br />

Aerostella, and ready for<br />

international distribution. Their<br />

work was presented in a preview at<br />

the Opera House of Genoa in May—<br />

with the conductor of Teatro Carlo<br />

Felice, Maestro Luis Bacalov (the<br />

extraordinary artiste who<br />

collaborated with the New Trolls)—<br />

Tema del nuovo concerto Grosso è<br />

Venezia risorta dalle acque –<br />

Repubblica marinara proprio<br />

come Genova e allegoricamente<br />

rappresentata dalla morte di<br />

Ofelia – dopo una violenta<br />

tempesta. Nel cd ci sono anche<br />

nuove canzoni scritte<br />

appositamente dopo la storica<br />

reunion del 2010. La struttura<br />

musicale è composta da ben 5<br />

movimenti e i testi sono di<br />

matrice shakespeariana. Lo<br />

splendido connubio di logos e<br />

suono è frutto di un lavoro<br />

capillare iniziato in studio anni fa<br />

ed ora ripreso e ottimizzato anche<br />

grazie all’esperienza del Maestro<br />

Bacalov nel mondo delle colonne<br />

sonore e alla sua abilità nel<br />

coniugare due mondi distanti tra<br />

loro quali sono il rock e la musica<br />

barocca in una sperimentazione<br />

progressive (filo conduttore di<br />

which showed its uniqueness with<br />

regards to intensity and virtuoso<br />

performance. The theme of the new<br />

Grosso concert is “Venice Arising<br />

from the Waters” after a violent<br />

storm. Venice, a Maritime Republic<br />

like Genoa, is allegorically<br />

represented by the death of<br />

Ophelia. In the CD there are also<br />

some new songs that have been<br />

written specifically after their<br />

historic reunion of 2010. The music<br />

structure is composed of five<br />

movements, and the text has a<br />

Shakespearian matrix. The splendid<br />

marriage of logos and sound is the<br />

fruit of a detailed work that began<br />

in the studio several years ago, and<br />

today has been taken up once<br />

again and optimized thanks also to<br />

the experience of Maestro Bacalov<br />

in sound track techniques and to<br />

his ability to put together two<br />

distinct worlds, and namely rock<br />

and baroque music, into a<br />

progressive experiment (the driving<br />

force in this work). Following the<br />

record will be a tour which will take<br />

these four indefatigable artistes<br />

onto Italian and international<br />

stages. Concerto grosso N.3 has had<br />

tremendous success in the Far East<br />

and in all progressive international<br />

environments. New Trolls have been<br />

collaborating with Luis Enriquez<br />

Bacalov on pieces like these<br />

orchestral suites since 1971, the<br />

year they gave their first Concerto<br />

grosso. The idea was actually<br />

Bacalov’s, and it was produced by<br />

Sergio Bardotti. It received cult<br />

status, and not just in Italy, for the<br />

progressive music genre. The first<br />

Concerto grosso was followed by a<br />

second in 1976.
