La Fontana

When I was talking to David a couple of weeks ago he told me
about this new single, and his description, and my love for fountains intrigued
me, I don’t know what it is about fountains, but I love them, and David’s
musical tale of one is utterly delightful, so with great enjoyment I review the
latest single by David Lanz entitled
La Fontana.
Interestingly enough there is reference to the first
fountains being used in ancient Greece
as decoration, but for me this track has a real Renaissance feel about its construction, its flourishing narrative
and its bright sparkling notation and tonal exquisiteness, being part of the
said musical equation of brilliance.
It would be in Italy perhaps, Florence, or Rome where fountains
were turned into full-on drama with such delightful motion, sculpture, and
symbolism, here the Lanz performance is utterly charming as are all of his
compositions, but here on La Fontana
we have a tapestry of timbre that is not only redolent of the subject matter,
but notes fall like gold from the cascading waters from the fountain itself.
