Our Take

Armando Trovajoli's "Il Vuoto" is a whimsical journey through the delightful mind of an Italian musical genius. The album opens with "La Dolce Vita", a catchy tune that will have you snapping your fingers and swaying your hips in no time. Trovajoli's use of playful melodies and intricate arrangements keeps you on your toes throughout the entire listening experience.

Tracks like "Fellini's Dream" and "Ciao Bella" showcase Trovajoli's ability to blend traditional Italian sounds with modern production techniques, creating a unique fusion that is both nostalgic and fresh. The album's title track, "Il Vuoto", is a hauntingly beautiful piano piece that will leave you breathless.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Il Vuoto". Trovajoli also explores darker themes on songs like "La Strada" and "Morte di un Poeta", delving into the complexities of life and death with a raw and emotional sincerity.

Overall, "Il Vuoto" is a masterful work of art that showcases Trovajoli's immense talent and creativity. It's a rollercoaster of emotions that will have you laughing, crying, and everything in between. So grab a glass of wine, put on your best Italian accent, and let Armando Trovajoli take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Grazie mille, Armando!

About the artist

Armando Trovajoli

Armando Trovajoli may not be a household name to the masses, but in the world of film music, he is nothing short of a legend. The Italian composer and pianist has been making beautiful music for over six decades, effortlessly blending jazz, pop, and classical influences in his scores. Born in Rome in 1917, Trovajoli began his career as a jazz pianist before transitioning into film composing in the 1950s. His collaborations with iconic directors like Vittorio De Sica and Ettore Scola have earned him critical acclaim and a reputation as one of the most versatile composers in the industry. Trovajoli's music is a time capsule of Italian cinema, capturing the essence of post-war Europe with his lush orchestrations and catchy melodies. Tracks like "Che Vuole Questa Musica Stasera?" from the film "Ricomincio da Tre" showcase his talent for crafting upbeat, infectious tunes that stick in your head long after the credits roll. But don't let his playful melodies fool you - Trovajoli's compositions are deceptively complex, blending traditional Italian folk music with modern harmonies and rhythms. His ability to effortlessly shift between genres and styles is a testament to his musical prowess and innovation. In a world where film composers often go unnoticed, Armando Trovajoli stands out as a true virtuoso. His influence can be heard in the work of contemporary composers like Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota, cementing his legacy as a giant in the world of film music. So next time you're watching an Italian classic, don't forget to pay homage to the maestro himself - Armando Trovajoli.
