Maria Monti's 1974 LP 'Il Bestiario' is a rare item even in its native country. Monti is an Italian singer and actress with a noteworthy career, performing as a cabaret singer in the '60s, an ambitious avant-garde folk artist in the '70s, and starring in films by directors such Sergio Leone and Bernardo Bertolucci all the while. In addition to lyrics by the infamous poet Aldo Braibanti, 'Il Bestiario' features arrangements and synthesizer from legendary avant-garde composer Alvin Curran, as well as the soprano saxophone of jazz-great Steve Lacy. The music of 'Il Bestiario' is a prime example of "the new art-song" of the 1970s, as Alvin Curran calls it - lush, dynamic and full of intelligence and beauty. Sourced from the original master tapes and remastered by Taylor Deupree. RIYL Juana Molina, Steve Lacy, Alvin Curran, Brigitte Fontaine, Ennio Morricone, Buffy St. Marie.
Also available: IL BESTIARIO (CD), IL BESTIARIO (IT) (LP).
