On the Luxembourg charts, superstar Fabrizio de Andre’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Fabrizio de Andre was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Fabrizio de Andre and Collaborazioni e rarite together. Now signed to Fabrizio de Andre’s Columbia Records, the title track from second album “Collaborazioni e rarite” leads Fabrizio de Andre’s back-to-school campaign. Collaborazioni e rarite constantly brilliant.
Musically Caro amore is superior to other tracks in Collaborazioni e rarite. In Con Max Manfredi - La Fiera Della Maddalena it becomes nowhere more obvious that Fabrizio de Andre has yet to define own style. Some of the arrangements found on Collaborazioni e rarite are surprisingly edgy. Murolo - Don Raffae’ is possibly the best song Fabrizio de Andre has come up. I loved Ricky Gianco - Navigare the first time I heard it. Mauro Pagani - Davvero davvero is the albums biggest surprise. Music of Tazenda - Etta Abba Chelu is gentle, never overbearing. Musicaitalia per l’Etiopia - Volare is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. I can’t stop humming along Ivano Fossati & Francesco De Gregori - Questi posti davanti al mare. Genova blues - Con Baccini is one of my favorite songs by Fabrizio de Andre. Se ti tagliassero a pezzetti Live is a strong cut, one of many. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion.
