Enzo Pietropaoli is an Italian jazz bassist. In 1961 he moved to Rome and then debuted professionally in 1975 with "Trio Di Roma" (Danilo Rea and Roberto Gatto). As the title states, on this release Pietropaoli performs a collection of songs by himself. The album includes covers of Bob Marley, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, and more. Some originals are also peppered throughout.

Recordings 2014 Pieve del Convento dei Cappuccini in Peccioloi in Italy. "A bass is more of a hindrance than an instrument," Patrick Suskind writes in his play "The Double Bass". In "Solo" proves the Italian virtuoso bassist Enzo Pietropaoli the opposite. The instrument, which may rarely even solos in the band affairs, is reduced to the role of the detaining foundation is here in the spotlight because of "Solo" is actually, as the title promises to hear any other instrument. And what Pietropaoli brings out of his double bass, which leaves a be amazed:

He plucks the melody and accompanied at the same time even strokes gorgeous vocal lines and atmospheric sound effects with the bow shall sometimes even a drum groove ago by drumming on the body of the instrument. The repertoire is how often compiled on Pietropaolis plates from all corners of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" is found here as well as Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," Cole Porter stands next to Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain next Django Reinhardt, and Pietropaolis original compositions alongside a Gregorian chant.

Now that's subtly powerful, sometimes subdued and quiet, sometimes lyrical, curious. The warm sound of the great bass was caught in a small chapel so well in the Natural sound method of Giulio Cesare Ricci that you can really be amazed to see how many ways, this often underrated instrument.

The story of fonè

In the context of classical and jazz music market, fonè proposes three decades of recordings using advanced techniques, aimed at the recovery of the original musical atmospheres.

Each new recording is the result of a passionate encounter between art and the art of execution and aims to recreate and reproduce the same spirit with which the works of the past have been performed. One basic feature that makes the difference between fonè and others, is the recording of musical works in natural places and original, constant production that leads to choose from time to time historically more space? Suitable for: church, theater, villa, living room ...

All this is done by retrieving a simple incision that does not do violence to the music: all the equipment is in high definition. Using pairs of valves Neumann microphones in the years 1947 and 1949 (U47, U48 and M49) using techniques very natural timbre bimicrofoniche field effect. These microphones have an important story: they are the microphones used to record the Beatles at Abbey Road Studio and RCA for the "Living Stereo."

No use is made of electronic manipulation of the signal, nor any artificial correction that if they make a sound easier to carve, it is true that distort so unacceptable. With this method you get to transfer the music information on the standard analog for the production of virgin vinyl 180g & 200g

fonè uses for the standard analog Nagra 4S, Studer C37 and J37 and Ampex ATR 102, the standard for digital, in collaboration with Philips the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology that has opened the doors to the SACD. For all subsequent stages of processing and control, in which it must be a playback of the sound reproduction systems are used very sophisticated.

After the pressing demands of the enthusiast market and after a long series of investigations to ensure the best possible support, the virgin vinyl 180/200 grams, fonè now makes available its most prestigious titles in the LP format.

strong opposition to current trends in the multinational market, tending to offer a product that is increasingly homogenized and devoid of content.

Implementation is of the highest quality and is dedicated to those who appreciate the pursuit of perfection in the field of sound reproduction, to collectors, to the true connoisseur and expert of things beautiful.
