Sometimes you hear something that literally transports to you
a location or a time, when I took my first listen to Zagara by Renato Siracusano,
I fell in a timeless love for the contents of this short form manifestation
from the artist, the guitar was some of the smoothest I have heard for quite
some time, whilst the flute or whistle sound was a true scene setter, bringing
a little Celtic influence into the weave of the piece.
The combination of strings and, that lush symphonic effect,
took me way back to the early part of the century and artists like Medwyn Goodall that used this style so
effectively on releases like his Clan
Trilogy back in the heady days of 1998. Regardless this manifestation from
Renato Siracusano was something to be thoroughly enjoyed.
One could easily see this track being used in television or
films; it has that colourful light energy about it that would fit into a
multitude of dramas. Here is a piece that could be developed well beyond the
2.28 duration of the arrangement, but regardless, this music is a prime example
of what truly good instrumental music should sound and feel like, and called Zagara by Renato Siracusano.
