15tks/68mins
Sometimes, there are days when sadness and melancholy come, and you
wish to stop, sit down and go far beyond, to the past. You recollect the
people, who were nearby, those who loved you. And for a short time you are
there, in the past, where you can not ever return. But the memory revives
light moments of your life, and these recollections are clearing you. They
give you a new strength to live and do not surrender to the troubles, which
are awaiting you. Everybody has these minutes...
Music of Tino Izzo ideally corresponds to these states, and not occasionally
his album is named " Nostalgia Trails" . This music contains light sadness,
tenderness, and slow observation, the joy of loneliness and hope for the
better - many emotions are interwoven with the Tino Izzo's music. Every his
composition is a separate life story told by a man who has something to tell
us. Depth and sincerity of feelings are in this music, it can be played only
by a person who has experienced many situations himself, who passed all these
emotions through himself. That is why, this music can not leave you indifferent.
For me, Tino Izzo is surely a brilliant composer-melodist, outstanding
musician, and one of the best guitarists of our time. His music is quite
unique, and you can not confuse his style with any other one. Tino Izzo masterly
plays most various types of guitars, and, also, mandolin, bass, keyboards
and other instruments. When you hear his music you remark again and again
that it is very emotional, and contains just a storm of feelings and emotions.
There is a big power in this music, and you feel that a real man is talking
to you.
" Nostalgia Trails" is more than just a collection of the best works
of Tino Izzo from his three most famous albums (" Blue Desires" , " Foreign
Skies" , and " Four September Suns" ). One can find here three original
compositions, one of which is an interesting interpretation of the
Lennon/McCartney's " And I Love Her" .
Inspiring music of Tino Izzo! This is a rare thing, that one can hear
something close to this emotional incandescence and virtuous performing,
for which there are no limits. Divine sounds of a guitar and magical harmonies.
Unearthly dreams and real stories. Clearance of thought and absolute openness
of feelings...
If you are going to an uninhabited island, do not forget to take this
album with you - " Nostalgia Trails" is an everlasting music.
