It's on my site and on youtube (check MusicariE).... it's about 'my' London and missing the Italian sunshine, though the weather was so wonderful during shooting...! Arrivederci, Ariella' 'I hope you like GOOD MORNING LONDON my friends, it's in 'A.U. (almost) a Compilation'. CIAO! Ariella' REVIEW: Awesome Ariella! Your new video and the music are great... Kyle, Brighton, England REVIEW: Jolly good! Lovely photography, London looks lovely - interesting to see it from another's point of view, apparently hassle free and sunny! Charles, London NEWS: 'Check out track n.3 for a cool version of Schubert's AVE MARIA from the CD 'A.U. (almost) a Compilation'. In Walter Scott's Ellen's Third Song, Ellen sings to the Virgin this beautiful piece from inside a cave. Ariella and her musicians have recreated the magical atmosphere of this unusual setting.... ' MusicariE REVIEW: Ariella's ELLEN'S THIRD SONG is the ultimate Celtic folk-rock version of Schubert's ( and Walter Scott's!) Ave Maria....a must for any aficionado of modern versus classical. Well done! J. Reedy, New England REVIEW: My favourites are Canto D'Autunno and Danza Italiana, and the 'celtic' The Three Ravens (new version) is really amazing! Kelly, USA REVIEW: I love the poetry of Lord Byron and I did not expect to hear my favourite poem sung so beautifully on a pop album. Thank you F.R. Bocci,Vermont REVIEW: She moves with grace and elegance from modern song to early ballads and so pleases the ears of both her younger Italian audience and the more 'seasoned' folk aficionados from this side of the water.... John S., London REVIEW: Deliberately unfocussed in subject matter and style (as the title seems to suggest), it's a remarkable album, inspired and elegantly presented, a collector's item. Bryn F., UCL, London, UK REVIEW: A synaesthetic approach to art, three media at work expressing a 'romantic' and rather decadent vision of love. Francis C., London College of Communication, London, UK PRESS RELEASE: ARIELLA ULIANO - A .
U . (almost) a Compilation With 'A.U. (almost ) a Compilation' Ariella Uliano offers us a breathtaking and original artistic product, perhaps her best to date. In ' A .U. ( almost ) a Compilation ' modern songs, traditional ballads and period dances are beautifully performed and the pure sound of Uliano's soprano voice, together with the rich orchestral and vocal arrangements create haunting and magical atmospheres. There is a sense of spirituality, love and introspection in Ariella's songs, as well as a touch of lightness and irony as, for instance, in GOOD MORNING LONDON ( An English Summer's Day ). Many the gems in this collection but three songs in particular are in my opinion outstanding: Walter Scott's ELLEN'S THIRD SONG ( from The Lady Of The Lake, Hymn To The Virgin ) for most of us Schubert's AVE MARIA; Child's ballad THE THREE RAVENS ( new version ) and a 'live' version of UNTITLED. In preparing this CD, Ariella Uliano and her new ensemble of virtuoso instrumentalists have created fresh arrangements for some of her hits.... Here are my favourites: SO, WE' LL GO NO MORE A-ROVING ( new version ) by Lord Byron; IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER ( new version ) by Christina Rossetti ( played on the pianoforte by Bartolomeo Ortuso ); CHERRY TREE CAROL ( new version ) and the Celtic classics SKYE BOAT SONG ( remix ) and SALLEY GARDENS ( new version ). The album opens with NON PARLAR TROPPO D'AMORE an Italian song of great beauty, and towards the end of the programme we find CANTO D'AUTUNNO ( Autumn Song ) also sung in Italian. On these two tracks in particular, Ariella Uliano's voice and melodies are spellbinding. Uliano has also released a special edition of ' A .U. ( almost ) a Compilation ' with an accompan
